Very fuzzy conversions there, and still not nearly as important as anything else mentioned above, but still I'd say it does make a difference.
The main problem with the lightweight 2-piece rotor setups is they cost too much for what they give you.

Which is the reason for my next question, and my biggest one...
I do plan to turn my Z one day into a dedicated track car... So to me getting the 2 piece rotors is functional, maybe not tomorrow, but down the line... And I don't like to buy parts, to have to buy the same thing again later...
With that being said, 2 piece ones are very expensive, so are the light
er weight than stock one piece rotors alright, or at least good enough to withstand DDing and occasional track days without sacrificing too much performance gain from floating 2 piece ones?
Long story short, I dont want to buy a set of rotors, to switch them out again later, so is it worth it to go ahead and get 2 pieces instead of singles?
