2 piece rotors are 2 piece or floating because they separate the contact surface from the hat. That allows the rotor to expand independently from the hat. Here's an excerpt

2 piece rotors are 2 piece or floating because they separate the contact surface from the hat. That allows the rotor to expand independently from the hat. Here's an excerpt from the racingbrake site.

Quote:
Advantages:
  • Lighter rotor (12-16% weight reduction varied with the size and design) than original one-piece rotor – meaning lower spinning weight.
  • Cooler disc - due to higher heat dissipation rate of aluminum hat as compared to cast iron
  • True full floating design (unlike others out in the marketplace) allows the disc to expand and contract freely without stressing the hat. This helps prevent the disc from warping or cracking.
  • Allows consumers to replace only the rotor ring, while reusiing the hat. Although the initial cost of two-piece rotors is higher than one-piece rotors, the lifetime operating cost could be lower.

Front Sport Rotors: 29lbs
Front 2pc Rotros: 18lbs
Front Non-Sport Rotors: NLA, haven't had a set to weight them.

HPS Pads have better stopping power then Ceramic, but Ceramic has less dust. I prefer the HPS because you get a better pad, w/ Less dust then Stock. Minimal or to No Warm-up Required on either pads.

Questions: Do you know (for the Sport model) the weight difference between the stock, the slotted replacements you offer, and perhaps even the 2-piece (if you're making one that's slotted but not drilled?). I assume the point of the 2-piece is to drop more weight.

Also, I've been looking for a good streetable pad. I may occasionally do some light track events, but if I ever do more I can always get a different set of pads for the track... So I'm thinking about either those HPS's or the Ceramic ones from the ones on your site. They both look street-friendly (not as bad as a track pad on dust/noise/ rotor wear) from the descriptions. Is the Ceramic better all around, or is there some drawback compared to the HPS? Like, do they need more warmup to get full effectiveness, or are they more difficult to bed correctly?

Has anyone tried the SS brake lines yet? Very eager to hear results on these, not that I expect them to be bad

They're on my car right now. They seem to do what SS brake lines should do, don't know what else to say

They fit pretty much the same as they would on the 350Z, very similar setups
