OEM Rotors

So I did something dumb.

I will be doing a few track days this summer. In preparation for it I got PFC pads and motul RBF 660 fluids. This past Friday I took my car to a buddy's shop to change out the pads and fluid as the oem fluid were due for service (service light came on) and I knew oem pads were below 50% thickness.

Unfortunately I forgot one small but important detail... oem rotor thickness. My buddy measured it and the fronts were at 28.7mm. The minimum being at 28.4mm, I was told the stock rotors won't survive the summer with a few track days thrown in there. I knew my rotors weren't perfect and was only hoping to make it through this year with them.

Now... should I just get oem rotors since I have brand new pads (less than 30km driven on them) in there. OR bite the bullet and get BBK and sell the PFC pads? Yes yes, I know I don't neeeeed BBK now but I' planned on getting them some day and I will be doing more track days down in the future.
