Go to a 2 pc version of that rotor and suddenly the extra swept area is almost nill. Interesting isn't it?
These are odd questions coming from someone that's making the G37 akebono brackets?

and im sure they weigh quite a bit as well.
Not question the "scientific" reasoning behind putting those rotors on your maxima. Just making a simple observation.

Look dude its obvious why i think that 4 piston front 2 piston rear versus a 2/1 setup.. but you knew this..

Answer the question then. What makes you think your custom setup will give you better 60-0 then what you have now? I assume that white coupe you have.

Because you DO know if I ran the 06Z 12.6" rotors, I couldn't bolt up the early 03 calipers RIGHT??
I suggest you stop while you're only 2 behind.

Not sure what that $0.2 crack is about but here's your $0.1 change back. Ever weigh those G37 14" 1 pc rotors you make the brackets for?
Right.

Last time i checked race cars don't use rotors that are to "big" for the caliper. Their **** actually fits lol
