Wildwood rotors and top hats??

I'm a heavy braker too. I'm running the RB 2 piece rotors, Hard Brake Ti heat shields in the front calipers, and the RC brake ducts.

Mind popping that off and putting it on a real scale so we can all see the weight?

Ill have to adjust the wilwood weight as I was wrong. The bolt kits not included I believe so add a pound. AND $60 each rotor!!! They're nuts. I'd be buying and drilling my own safety wire holes at that price

RacingBrake products are legit, they just don't get advertised on here much and due to their price I'm assuming aren't as popular as a much less expensive standard solid rotor. I took weights off the stock front rotor and the front RacingBrake rotor..

Wait I'm confused. How could you two guys be so far off on weight? 2.2lbs is huge.

Ahh, missed that. Hmm. Idk the prices everyone charges I think's insane. If they didn't rake people over the coals they'd sell more and make more profit! Almost $500 for one peice of metals just robbery when the metal doesnt cost that much, have a CNC program written and boom, done. I know track guys that go through $100 sets whenever and they work so idk. End rant.

Fifty bucks cheaper, and PRIME. I love Amazon.

I hate Racing Brake's name, it's so damned generic, hard as hell to find anything they make.
