Default Longevity of STaSIS rear rotor upgrade?

For those people using the STaSIS rear rotor upgrade at the track, how long (overall calendar duration plus number of track days) are the rotors lasting for you? Also, please let me know what pads you use on the street and track (front and rear) so I can compare to what I would be running. Thanks.

I'm trying to decide between another set of DBA slotted rears and the STaSIS kit. DBAs are much less expensive, obviously.

Default I ran 4 or 5 track days on rear Stasis rotors and still plenty of rotor left....

Ferodo DS3000's iirc. Jake (NO.Brazil) has them now.

Default Well, if this helps mine have never been changed. About two years, 10,000 miles, 12 or so ACNA

events, 1 NASA event, 1 Eurotuner GP (Paul Lambert driving) and 1 Eurotuner Time Attack (Paul Lambert driving).

My fronts though have been changed

No warping issues, same exact rotors on the racecars, some sets have gone 1 1/2 seasons of racing!

Default It is really tough to warp rear rotors and if you are making that much heat in the back you are...

gonna scare yourself at the track because you have too much rear bias going on. Drive with the handbrake on for a while if you want to warp rear rotors

Default I liked them, but the runout is measuring too much after a year.

The slots are still in great shape, though.

Default 25 days, plenty of rotor left. Used Porterfield R4S, switched to some cheap pads from TR.

I estimatge they will outlast fronts 3 to 4 times. I am on 2nd set of fronts.
