I'll be installing these on Saturday so I'll have some pics and more accurate weight measurements then.
I have the slotted and drilled Stoptechs, yes they are heavy, but hopefully that means strong and durable :-) I will definitely upgrade to a 2 piece when the time comes, saving a little rotating mass here with definitely help improve acceleration and suspension performance. Lighter wheels and lighter rotors can make a big difference.
