Eradispeed?
I've got them along with Hawk ceramic pads. I really think they're just more for eye candy than any real performance gains. I like them, but if you're looking for more stopping power, I'd look at a legit bigger brake kit IMO.
I've used them for multiple seasons but I don't road race the car just go up to about 160 and then stomp the hell out of em hoping I stop before the turn in area of the track.
I use a full racing pad on them now and they seem to be holding up pretty well. No cracks or anything. Although I'm constantly removing pad material from the cross drilled holes whenever I change from skinnies to my street wheels.
The road race guys all use an OEM stock rotor (not the chinese knock off) with pads. Figure on replacing your rotors after two days of flying around Road America if you use your brakes heavily instead of counting on engine braking to do most of the job.

I'm mainly looking for less rotating mass and these are suppose to be 2# lighter per front rotor. I was checking to see what peoples experiance was with them.
Eradispeed rotors are nice, but shaving 2 lbs of rotating mass off the rotor won't do much in terms of tangible performance or handling improvements. Your money would be better spent on lighter rims/tires. The rotating mass of your wheels/tires is at a much greater moment arm (further from the center) which will have a more noticeable improvement on road feel & handling.
