The stock pads are not up to the task of track duty. And the DOT 3 oem fluid can boil quickly in a track environment. The rotors themselves are not the problem. Upgrade your pads and fluid (track ready pad and a DOT-4 fluid) and you will be good to go for a track day. I know you don't want pure track upgrades, but the pads and fluid are necessary if you want to last on track (in addition to an oil cooler of course). Pads are easy enough to swap in and out for a track day.
