They are about $8000, which to some people may be too much. For others it might be pocket change, depends on the buyer.
On the track the stock brakes are lousy, but just changing the pad to a Pagid RS14 or more aggressive RS20 or 29 makes a huge difference. The only thing is on the track the front rotors only last 2-4 weekends depending on how aggressive the pad is. The best price I have gotten for front steel rotors plus labor to install them has been $1200. The ceramic rotors are a lot more, so I'm sticking with steel. I think steel rotors with RS29s will out brake stock ceramic brakes all day long, and the pads are cheap.
