In general, this depends on the mass of the BBK rotor vs the mass of the stock rotor. Having more thermal capacity means the rotor will experience less temperature gain for the same amount of heat generation while braking. However, depending on how demanding you are of the brakes, without additional cooling, increasing the thermal capacity somewhat might not solve the problem (it might only delay it) as the overall energy balance of the system can still be positive into the rotor, but we need more information to be able to say anything conclusive. That said, I am also looking into the Stoptech and Brembo kits. My rotors are shot, and I don't want to sink $800 into the stock rotors.
