Got the Wavespec rotors from Ron, replaced the stock pads w/ same. ATE fluid for the bleed. Bedded them w/ a bunch of near stops from 30ish, then let them cool, then a bunch of decels from 50ish. So far so good, similar feel to stock obviously but at this point slightly less initial bite. Bonus: I think they look cool.

I stopped by work today (bike shop, I manage the service dept) and as I pulled up a couple was walking out our roll-up door. The guy commented on the car, then walked up closer and said something along the lines of "Damn, those rotors are cool! Where'd you find them?":cool:

I’ve not seen rotors like that before. What’s the advantage?

Reduced weight and better cooling due to the greater surface area at the edge. I'm not sure how I feel about reducing the weight and swept area of a brake rotor, even though it does look cool. Maybe on a street/autocross only car...
