^^^ did you happen to weigh? Is it a true 10lbs per rotor?

Where did that info come from. It's more like 20lbs per rotor.

Also they posted on FB the rear 2pc rotors are being put to the test.

Probably means -10 lb per rotor compared to stock. :icon17:

Most anyone would take that the other way. Also, did you think Z1 was being honest?

Joepro 08-22-2013 05:56 PM

nice price... and -10lbs per wheel, whoa...dang it z1, stop making stuff, just got the headers, now I NEED these haha.

ChrisSlicks 08-22-2013 07:36 PM

The OEM rotors are definitely 30lbs each for the front, the rear wasn't far behind either.

Mozen 08-22-2013 10:54 PM

I did weigh but did not take a picture of the scale. They are 10 lbs lighter each as advertised tho! Now i need to find time to go bed them in :)

Well if ones talking about light weight rotors which everyone knows they'll be a loss, asking is it a true 10 I'd say I'd disagree but to each their own. Plus I think most people here in a lightweight rotor thread who's even read one page would also know a rotor doesn't/couldn't weigh 10lbs so it'd be pretty obviously the weight was about the loss, again whatever. And in my experience, yes, manufactures tend to bend the truth. If I went off only them I'd have like 200 extra horse power from 10-20hp increase from all the bolt ons put together :icon18:. However in this case they seem to actually be a little low hence wanting a real world answer.

K thanks. When I buy ill bust out the gram scale. Seen a few OEM rotors very a little on scales as with the aftermarket.

SPOHN 08-23-2013 05:29 AM

^ good point

Joepro 08-23-2013 01:05 PM

I would like to hear some real world feed back never dabbled in LW rotors but I would say dropping that much weight off the hub should improve steering response quite a bit?
