Noob Rotor Question

ChrisSlicks

The bonus only comes in acceleration (and handling if driving on a race track which you say you're not going to do), and will be minimal given that each wheel and tire weights 55lbs.

There is no direct conversion of unsprung weight to static weight. Yes, removing unsprung weight is always beneficial but trying to save a few pounds on a street car doesn't make much sense. I didn't notice any dramatic acceleration performance improvement when I went to 2-piece rotors and AP calipers.

I think I'll be lucky to even get that but I concur spending that much money may not be worth it hence I'm asking about this and see what peoples feed back are.

LOL it's a legitimate question though.

Thanks Chris for your input, I saw on another thread where you upgraded to the AP set up its nice! I plan to change my rims and tires with a light weight setup as well, probably going with the TE-37SL not sure about tires. Any suggestions?

For a summer only tire I like the RE-11's the best. If you planning on driving in the winter then you will need dedicated winter tires as well.
