I'm having KPierson mod my stock bumper to be an open fascia...to support the FMIC I have currently. It will be 1 of 1 when he finishes modding his original design to fit my application...

Just got an email back regarding weight, I am kind of surprised:

Stock 12.8" Rotor - 19 lbs (1 piece rotor)

15.2" Rotor - 12.5 lbs (2 piece rotor and hat)

The difference in weight is mainly due to the fact that the rotor is two pieces and that the hats weigh that much less. This is definitely good news as I thought these things would be like lead weights thrown behind the wheels.

Brackets are getting cut early this week, if all goes well everything should ship out end of this week and I should get it next week.

Turbo, you read that wrong...according to your info, the 15" rotors were measured in inch pounds (12.5" lbs) which equate to a much higher actual weight!

slightly. you see, his design is too open for my FMIC (Vortech kit with Spearco IC)...so he's going to lower the top of the opening and make room for my OEM lip to fit at the bottom. Should look really nice...

Turbo, we are modding KP's design a little to make it a little more sleak...I think you'll like the look after...we'll see.

I'm not sure about those weights. I installed a set of stop tech 2-piece aero rotors for a friend, with the stock brembos. i weighed both rotors, and found that the two piece rotors were only 2 lbs lighter than the stock ones (each). also, if you look at the design of the 15.2" ones, there is a very small hat. they could have easily made the hat bigger, since the inner part of the rotor will not be doing anything. these have to be heavier than stock, or at least the same weight.
