Mike:
When you test your brakes at high speed, be aware of the following.  Your 
Supra Rotor has more mass in it, and so higher thermal inertia.  In other 
words, it will not heat up as fast as your budd.  The budd on the other 
hand will cool faster when hot due its larger cooling passages and lower 
thermal inertia.  When that happens, there may be differences in the 
left-right brake torque so the car could start pulling.  On the other hand, 
its possible/likely that the temperature of the lining is more important 
than the temperature of the disk, in which case you will be fine...

I am anxious to hear about your little problems.  One of BB rotors is 
warped, and I will have to change it.  I could use another spare budd I 
have, but that is kin'o thin...
