Same here. Thats when I started testing the Centric Premiums and found them to last 90% as long as the DBAs at 50% of the price.

I run NAPA blanks on my Miata and I know every C5Z owner I've talked to at Sebring run NAPA blanks. Cheap to replace and can take the abuse of track pads.

Oh snap, I better check my DBA's for cracks. I've noticed some brake juddering under hard braking when autocrossing. Had them for 3.5 years now. Got new pads installed/bedded in last month too, so I doubt it's pad deposits.

I will be looking into some centrics. 3 track days and 9000 miles and my rotors are full of hairline cracks. No splits yet, but they look terrible.
