I would recommend any of Dr. Diff's kits and installing an adjustable proportioning valve. I would highly advise against drilled rotors though, you will not need them for track use. Here is a 13" rotor that Cass sells which recently showed up Thanks Cass!

Rotor thickness is really just a rough idea of how well it will radiate heat with lots of other factors involved.
Rotor diameter is where better stopping power comes from. Bigger OD = more brake torque from the same hydraulics.
I used to swerve around my hallucinations, now I drive right thru them.

If you install an A13 inner bearing and race, the earlier C-body rotors will fit '73 and newer A/B/E/F/M/J/R body knuckles without an adapter. I never looked into a seal for that combination, however.
Are they the 2 piece rotor/hub? So the earlier C body outer bearing is the same as the 73 and up E body but it's inner is different?

Dr. Diff -- For the 72-older spindles, using the 72-older larger C-body discs (and thus the 72-older smaller bearings, etc), are there special adapters needed for the calipers? Also, could light weight aluminum calipers, such as Wilwood (which part number?), be fitted accordingly? Mine is still 72-older spindles and stock calipers (actually, 72 calipers).
