nope, but could just buy them? Not sure how that goes for the rules? could argue its needed to make them safe and prevent loss of performance from glazing/cooking the pads which they certainly do in my experience with non slotted rotors, they work ok initially but not for long.

I put the VN/VP V8 calipers/rotors on my old VH with decent pads. I went from been able to stop once (a real high speed hard stop) to been able to stop about 2.5 times before running out of brakes :(

I've had total brake failure once on a different car when no matter how hard you pushed on that pedal it just wasn't going stop. Bloody scary. You could also duct air to the brakes, should be a cheap enough mod.

Good idea, I plan to toss the front shields for better cooling, ducts would help some more.

The Team that won it this year were people that I know in a Renault Clio.

Funnily enough here is the interview I filmed of the Team Leader and the car done by my .. err .. Assistant:
