Make sure you look up the weights of the new rotors. the heavier the better.


Some good info in this thread about rotors: Review: Z1 rotors and PFC
I think you have it backwards. For the street you want the bling and street cred and longevity of a two piece since theyre expensive to replace. Plus the light weight, better mpg, better light to light etc.

For the track you want a cheap *** blank you can toss after a hard *** weekend and not care. $275 pre outer for a two piece adds up for a big time track car.

I think we said the same thing? I use cheap(ish) 1 piece blanks that I replace for the track. and OEM for the street.

If I was made of money I would have PFC 2 piece rotors for the track, but if I was made of money I'd probably have a porsche instead

Not that p cars don't have their share of problems or complaints by owners (center lock wheels for example), but yea I would like p cars too.

Cryo treated rotors should be an option to consider imo

Sorta. You did say 2 piece for a lot of tracking. I'd say no to that.
