Default 2 peices rotors

Guys, I don't know if this subject was discussed before. Is it worth it to replace OEM rotors with 2 peice rotors any change in brakes performance I know they are lighter so would my car benefit from that.

And any good brands out there? I have the akebono brakes

Thanks

Any unsprung weight is a huge gain. I really want the z1. Plus on the z1 they have a nice open area around the hubs which I will bet help with bearing cooling. Doesn't seem like that's an issue on the z but im sure it doesn't hurt, e46 m3 bearings fail like crazy with track pads and 1 piece rotors.

Any after market brake upgrade will be much better than the factory fatties. All depends on how much you want to spend and what use

Gen 1 CTS-V, it was something about retrofitting causing a 1mm play somewhere... Rb wrote an explanation on their site.
