Odd question: CJM RRP vs 2 piece brake rotors

I agree, a fuel starve solution is great to have early on. The earlier the better, IMO, because if you end up having to pay for gas at the track,

I agree, a fuel starve solution is great to have early on. The earlier the better, IMO, because if you end up having to pay for gas at the track, that's probably $50 extra in fuel costs each day. Or if you have to pit in early because you fuel starve halfway through a session, that's a considerable amount of track time you paid for that you now are missing out on.
It saves buying a couple more fuel jugs to haul gas to the track, if you DO plan on bringing extra fuel.

And that's a quality of life improvement you'll run into early on, and one that slowly pays for itself over time.

2 piece rotors are much less noticeable in comparison. You are unlikely to require the extra cooling they provide for a while, and the difference in feel from the weight reduction won't make or break a day out. Once you're fading track pads, or close to boiling fluid, it'd make more sense to swap, but for a lot of people and tracks, good pads and fluid are all they need with stock Akebonos.


Waiting for CJM is nice if you have the time. If not, Radium's in tank surge tank kit also works well, though not a beautifully designed and machined as CJ's. Another solution that works well enough is the Z1 kit, though it won't let you run as low as either surge tank solution. It's just a second pump that draws through a fuel mat and feeds into the OEM pump's basket, and not a surge tank design.
