Anyway my personal opinion is as such.
The car has excellent brakes (sport) and needs little little more then good pads and fluid to make it exceptional. Expensive two piece rotors are will not provide any real benefit and will cause heat problems sooner then a simple one piece. Not to mention it will eat a hole in your wallet sooner.
What I use is simple blanks, I can throw 3-4 away for the cost of a single replacement for a two piece. I use "Frozen Rotors" blanks because I notices a large amount of surface crack on regular. It costs about 110 a rotor with the "fr2015" 15% discount code which is less then half the cheapest 2 piece rebuild, not including the initial investment. Two piece rotors do have their place, in a striped out race car gunning for a prize and sponsors. XP10/8 are great and I use rbf600 but there are many good fluids out there, test and change your fluid reguarly. |
I will defer to those with more track experience than I, and i see your point generally that a blank 1 pc has more mass and therefore more thermal capacity than a 2 pc . .
but don't all our current 2 pc options also have superior internal venting (for lack of a better term) to funnel air through the inside and therefore cool better on track?
is it your experience that the venting doesn't matter as much as just having more mass?
