I still have more questions than answers. My Balo OEM quality rotors were dirt cheap at around $40 ea. Zimmerman are OEM quality for around $80 ea. and many Boxster drivers say they are better than Balo. Genuine Porsche rotors are around $150 ea. I got 17 track days on the Balos since last May and they were pretty good until this weekend so I shouldn't complain too loudly. The guys I know who have tried the high tech/ high$$/slotted/crossdrilled aftermarket specials have complained about cracks forming the first weekend out. I have no personal experience with them but brake safety is a biggie and cracks are bad news.

I guess my preliminary recommendation is to buy OEM quality and really "Sunday cruise" your cool down lap. Experiment with pad combinations to find the right setup for you.
