In case you're interested, I just made a how-to on rebuilding the Brembos, linky here:

I have 9 track days (road courses) on PowerSlot slotted front rotors from TireRack and they've held up well. I'm now seeing more severe heat checking (almost as bad as Wangspeed's), so I'm done with them. I've been using CarboTech XP10s since day 1. For the rears, I had been using cheap street pads for 7 days, but didn't like the bias and having to "chase" the rear end in heavy braking zones. So I started using XP10s on solid rotors on the rear. 2 days on that setup and really happy with it.
Also, since somebody asked, I use different rotors and pads between street and track, of course.

He claimed that the XP8/10 would build even more heat under braking than the AX6 and was genuinely surprised that I was boiling RBF600 and not getting fade.
The point is, maybe XP10s are to aggressive for our cars? Maybe that's in part why your rotors are so cracked? I was thinking about moving up to a XP8 pad to see how that goes. After all, I think I've proved that AX6 is enough for our cars, heh.
