The Z1 2 pc are almost too lightweight for the track. The unsprung weight is nice but the mass of a heavier rotor like the RB 2 pc dissipates heat soooooo much better, which you really need if you are pushing the brakes.

Which pads do you run with the RB rotors, both for street and track? I'm leaning heavily towards them, but I love the feel of the xp10/xp8 and would like to continue using them, or at least get something similar in feel and performance.

Ask Rusty.

I've got a set of Z1 2 pc rotors on the car now with XP8/10 pads. There's a good possibility I will swap them out for RB rotors before I get the car on the track. I like to brake aggressively.
Hotrodz and cthorson910 like this.

I started using the Z1 2 piece rotors this year along with XP10/8 pads. I also have brake ducts with 3" tubing. This combo worked great for me at Pitt Race in June and the Glen in July. Then in October at the Lightning I had a lot of shudder and vibration. I'm planning on switching over to RBs over the winter.

If your pads get wear down less than half you may get some shudder. I have and new brake pads fixed it. It's a thing with Akebono brakes for some reason.
