Yeah, but if we're really trying to save 1lb here and there at whatever expense, I think shaving the rotors is just as viable of an option. I still think its a little bit out there of an idea, and not worth it.


The other thing, if rotors are not CAST with holes or in roughly the same shape as the final shape, the rotors will be week. Z1 and every other company making rotors gets a bad rap because CUSTOMERS order drilled rotors, I doubt they want to deal with the crap PR of having a BUNCH of scalloped rotors cracking to hell.
