I see both views. What I get told all the time by hard core track guys is that they go to a BBK not for extra stopping power, more for extra meat. Because they can get maybe 10 track days on OEM rotors, but since the BBKs have more meat they take more heat and may last 20 at best

Damn I'd hope the OEM 14x1.25" is enough meat! I mean that is a big brake kit on other cars. To me it will come down to cost. I've never priced a OEM rotor but I know the outer rings are like $275 each?? So I guess just how fast both get chewed up by me is the question. Money aside I'd still do Z1's or something for the lighter weight hoping my lap times are faster vs OEM even if the OEM brakes later in the corners.

well what meat are they talking about? Surface area of the rotor I would assume..not the thickness of the rotor

Im curious now how the thickness compares to lets say...the Stoptech bbk

just browsing around and found this....http://www.myg37.com/forums/attachme...it-photo-1.jpg

just guessing but width looks very similar to the z1 two piece
