Oh the joys of caliper rebuilding! I am very curious to see how the 2-piece rotors work out though as I am leaning toward these when I do rotors on my car.

Inner seal, dust boot and pistons are all out (along with a nice amount of green brake fluid!) Will drop it off for powder coating tonight.

Would you be willing to weigh the 2-piece rotors as I am considering the upgrade as well? I am extremely curious as to the actual weight difference.

a cost total would be awesome as well!

It's going to be over $3k Canadian money for all 4 corners using OEM stuff when it's all said and done.

After this there's going to be no more mods I swear...

I'll weight them but I don't have a stock S rotor weight to compare it to. Dan from Vividracing said it saves about 1-2lbs each corner.

If all else fails I'll pull one of the rotors off of my car and weigh it (2002 S).

Rotors and pads are here. Not expecting the hats to be natural anodized.

They weight 20lbs each (with the plastic bag).

I'm looking into getting the rotors cadmium/zinc plated. More update next week.
