Anybody running 2 piece rotors?
 
I am looking to do an upgrade on my brakes soon and am seriously contemplating a 2 piece rotor for the front. I am interested in the unsprung weight reduction mostly. I see that DBA makes a set and so does Z1. Does anyone out there have any experience with these brands?

I got the Racing Brake 2 piece rotors on both front and rear. 6 trackdays on them so far, plus about 3,000 street miles on them with no problems. :D

I am still waiting for a matching rear to become available. Z1 or CZP, perhaps stillens new BBK!

I run DBA-5000 rotors when running a track day. They provide about 10lbs less / corner, and remarkably improve cooling.

But if you're not going to track days, then save your money. ;)

p.s. Check this thread for more ideas.

Might want to reweigh those DBAs, the weight loss isn't that much

I've run DBAs and Z1's. The Z1's are really light and you do feel it if you're heavy footed.

Get the Z1's, ONLY SLOTTED, call up, talk to John@Z1, tell him "Andrew the ásshole" sent you

Thanks for the info fellas!

Z1 MotorSport, I am running the 2 piece Akebono front rotors (slotted and drilled). So much quicker in the steering due to the weight loss on the new rotors. Still waiting for Z1 to finish testing the two piece rears. Happy with the fronts.



Oh....and if you call Z1 ask for Rob and tell him Curtis the prick referred ya....lol
