I bought the rotors from a vendor, see here.

And the rears don't NEED to be replaced, even for track duty. So these would be 2-piece ONLY on the front.

...not to mention that they don't make a 2-piece rotor for the rear yet, but i'm sure there's plenty of douche kabobs lining up to buy "decorative performance".

The reason you would want rear would be for the weight reduction. It's like putting lighter wheels on the car!

But $400.00 for 10 lbs savings ? I'd say go ahead and save that for some track days !!!

Meh....people spend near 10x that for a set of wheels and not much more weight reduction. I'm just saying it's not really a douche mod of your serious about track time. People spend more on flywheels too.

Me...I'd get some one piece slotted rear to be vein. Don't care about the weight when you look this damn good! Lol! 😜

Sean we must educate you on speed. Any reduction in rotating mass is good. 10 less lbs of rotating mass is good, and even more important to some one looking for tenths of a second
