Now I think it's my front ap rotors as 2nd half of a trackday these cracks get larger as the more sessions go on
Has anyone else experienced this? Highly annoyed as these where very expensive so I will be contacting eliseparts to see what they say.

Sure the pistons aren't sticking slightly?

Checked my Elise parts bells and rotors after yesterday and three out the four are cracked
Maybe you should try Alfa 159 discs like me.
They are £10 each, 330mm diameter, but very heavy due to the meat on them (though you could skim 2 or 3mm per side off easily).
When I was bedding in my RC8 pads I made them glow so much they went a sort of bronzy yellow colour once they cooled down, with no signs of cracking or warpage afterwards.

Jeeze, that's a deffo replacement job. I feel for you.
It's bloody criminal how this after market stuff is sold with no sort of guarantee that is ever upheld. Basically everything is marketed as "race-spec", "awesome this that and the other", all with pretty pics that succer you in. But in actual fact most of it is unfit for purpose, badly designed, badly made, and just sold on for the maximum of profit with the minimum of responsibility.
I went though the exact same fury with my exhaust manifold.
