Brembo BBK rotor options

I have recently purchased a Mini that had been running in BMWCCA, I am going to running in HPDE's after running my street MCS for years. I love the Brembo BBK but don't love the price of the replacement rotors. Are there any options out there? I don't mind giving up some performance if the savings is significant.

BBK's are good for the track because they help prevent brake fade. Of course having to replace the large rotors is expensive (as you are finding). A cheaper long term solution might be installing a set of cooling ducts and using a set of very track oriented brake pads with stock calipers.

Exactly what I have been running on my previous car, Hawk or Carbotech track pads with ducting. BBK is too good to step away from just think there has got to be a cheaper rotor option, loved those NAPA rotors on the stock set up.

Check out Texas Speedworks and their brake kits. A very affordable solution to the name brand ones.
