I can tell the difference between when I have a spare tire in the car and when I don't so I'm pretty sure I will be able to tell the difference if the rotors are 30lb lighter from using a material lighter in total than iron. It would make even more of a difference on the rotors because the engine has to rotate them directly just to make the car move. I don't think there is a lighter material available for the base trim rotors. To get lighter rotors it sounds like I would have to first upgrade to the akebono brakes and swap in some carbon fiber rotors that would cost 15 grand for a set... Hmm not worth it. Was just hoping someone made steel rotors or that there were more options for light rotors at a reasonable price. It's really just for ***** and giggles. To keep myself entertained really.
