I use up 10 to 12 rotors per year on my track car and would love to have a source for American rotors.

Carbon Z brand brake rotors are mostly american made. I believe they say it is something like 85% of their products are made in either the US or canada.
They sell them at www.brakewarehouse.com
Maybe they will have something for your racer Last C5

www.pegasusautoracing.com also has all american made brake rotors that may work with your racer.

I disagree with the ceramic going easy on yout Rotors. Hard Pads on Hard rotors will wear both. Soft Pads on hard rotors will wear the inexpensive pads but save the rotors.

Brake dust... is easy and cheap to clean over buying Rotors every other Brake job.
