If you need rotors, get OEM rotors.
They are highly recommended, but putting EBC Greens on the back of my car did more than HPS on the front.

That said, I do run them on my street Viper because I can get a gazillion miles out of the rotors. But the lack of stopping power is noticable on a heavy car like the Viper. Losing a couple hundred pounds would definitely help.
Greens arent made for Autox or actual racing use. I dont have to wait for mine to heat up to work nicely, which hints that they might not like excessive heat.

Porsche doesnt get excessive either. Their brakes are from Brembo, but didnt go crazy like my Brembo replacements
