This thread will give details and serve as a discussion spot for the 2 piece rotor upgrade I have been working on. The other thread I had was starting to get confusing since I talked about so many different things.
Why a 2 piece rotor and what are the benefits?
#1 reason and the most important is weight savings. This rotor has the potential to save a minimum of 3 lbs per side compared to standard BG 10" rotor. This would be like putting lighter weight wheels on the car and since its unsprung weight like the wheels are, it has more benefit than removing sprung weight from the car.
#2 reason is better heat dissipation and less chance of warping rotors if you overheat the brakes since both the ring and hat can expand independently of each other without stress.
