My dad weighed them at 19.8 lbs. when he put them on the car, which is now mine.

The two-piece design is advantageous for cooling however the rotor is a heat sink and less mass in the rotor means less cooling.

That's what I figured when I went with the 13" setup for my fronts. But that should be efficient enough for street and light track use. 14" or even 15" rotors are going to dissipate heat much more effectively.

Ill have to adjust the wilwood weight as I was wrong. The bolt kits not included I believe so add a pound. AND $60 each rotor!!! They're nuts. I'd be buying and drilling my own safety wire holes at that price

RacingBrake products are legit, they just don't get advertised on here much and due to their price I'm assuming aren't as popular as a much less expensive standard solid rotor. I took weights off the stock front rotor and the front RacingBrake rotor..

Ahh, missed that. Hmm. Idk the prices everyone charges I think's insane. If they didn't rake people over the coals they'd sell more and make more profit! Almost $500 for one peice of metals just robbery when the metal doesnt cost that much, have a CNC program written and boom, done. I know track guys that go through $100 sets whenever and they work so idk. End rant.
