Question Centric Rotors For The Track????

Has anyone tracked the hell out of a set of Centric rotors? I was just wondering how they hold up compared to other brands? The price sure is right, but safety comes first. I don't get to many days on any brand before surface cracks start showing up. I know that is normal, but at what point is to many cracks that might lead up to a failure? I have seen the damage that an exploded rotor makes and it is not pretty. I have never seen it happen to a Subaru yet, but how much is to much? If you have tracked these rotors, how many track days? What level of run group? What pads are you using on the track? And what do you think of the rotors? Thanks

Centric, Powerslot, Stoptech rotors are all made by the same people...

I run Stoptech slotted rotors for the front, and Centric slotted rotors for the rear and they hold up just fine for the track. Mind you, my car is a GC on WRX sized rotors.

Throwing them out after every session is a little more work that I was looking for. Besides how would I carrry seven extra set for a track day? I think my car would be a little over loaded.
