Weight reduction! Lug nuts are over rated.
OP: This look good. Did you do new pads as well?

Steel lugs, as much for anti theft as anything. Stock rear roters Good news is the car still stops.

that's a total of 16lbs rotational mass and you don't feel a thing? Damn for ~$500 each I wanna feel something. Looking ahead I know you get to keep using the rotor hats, how much are the replacement disks?

I am interested in a 2 piece rotor setup myself. However, I would like the rears as well. And to my understanding, you have to grind down some of the e-brake edges in order for Race Brake rear rotors to fit without rubbing issues. Would like to find a rear set that you don't have to do any mods for it to work.
OP, do you plan on buying the rears from Race Brake in the future? |

Yes, car pulls down very quick. I think quicker than the stock rotors. I had a chance to test them last night.

Last night after work I had a chance to push the rotors and ther is a difference. The car stopped quicker and with morre control. I had to get the pads bedded in before I could tell the difference. It seems to be less noise comming from the front of the car as well. Less Gyro mass??? I don't understand that, but the rotors are outstanding. There still not bedded in all the way. The rotors have none of the noise that most 2 peice designes have. I am happy I spent the extra money for them. Later
