re: rotors
Adey - you are generally right about the rotors, but that is true only to a point. Generally, there is nothing wrong with running rotors w/ multiple pad compounds. The problem comes when the rotor becomes worn or glazed. While multiple sets of street compounds will be quicker to glaze rotors (necessitating turning or cleaning), track compounds tend not to glaze when properly bedded.
I know quite a few people that run two sets of rotors - one for their street pads and one for their track pads. I'd guess they're also equally mixed between those who believe in different rotors and those that will not use a turned rotor on the track b/c of fear of cracking (i.e., use it on track until it needs turning or is too thin, then switch for street use).
Personally, I have always used one set of rotors. Sure, I replace them more often, but I haven't had any problems with glazing or warpage from dual duty. In a perfect world, I would run two sets of rotors.
