One-piece rotors or two-piece rotors on stock 6mt with Brembos?

2004 6mt with Brembos;

Does the car come stock with one- or two-piece rotors?
Is there any problem replacing/exchanging the rotors from one to the other?
Is there a big advantage?

Brake gurus, please help.

Thinking about project MU SCR rotors (one-piece) or Stop Tech Aero rotors (two-piece).

Thanx!

The stock brakes(brembo and non-brembo) are one-piece. The advantage of two-piece rotor's are that they are lighter(2.5 lb's per rotor) and when replacing the rotor, just need to replace one side. Also, two piece rotors cannot warp, or so I am told. They are also significantly more expensive than one-piece rotors.
You can replace the rotors with either one, its up to you.
For me, I am going with a one-piece authentic Brembo replacement. I can't justify spending over $1500 on two-piece Stoptech rotors. They won't make you stop any faster, but in the end they might not fade as bad as OEM on the track. I'm not saying OEM's fad badly, but Stoptech's might last a little longer. You can get x-drilled or slotted authentic OEM Brembo replacement from the sponsor importrp on all 4 rotors for less than $700.

1 - brembos are one-piece rotors
u can switch out the rotors for 1 or 2 piece rotors.
advantages read above, summed it up pretty good.

at performance nissan they have direct oem brembo replacements, all 4 totals $811.90

stoptech 2-piece drilled rotors, all 4 totals $1520.00

stptech 1-piece drilled or slotted rotors, all 4 totals $536.00

i didnt find the replacement cost for the rotors (without hats) on their site. does anyone know how much for all 4?

You can also get 1 piece brembo drilled or slotted from lildevilmotorsports or something like that for 650ish shipped. I paid 325 shipped for my rears i think the fronts would have been 330 shipped or somewhere around there.

OK,I got it figured:
(all content from www.stoptech.com)

2 Piece AeroRotor Kit - w/7075-T6 billet aluminum AeroHats
#81-646-9911 324x30mm slotted, floating, front AeroRotors $584.00
#81-646-9912 322x22mm slotted, floating, Rear AeroRotors $736.00
--Cost ya $1320 for all 4 (vs ~$700 for the OEM Brembos, ouch)

2 Piece AeroRotor Replacement only - no mounting bell (hat)
324x30mm SLOTTED/LEFT $165.00
324x30mm SLOTTED/RIGHT $165.00
322x22mm SLOTTED/LEFT $145.00
322x22mm SLOTTED/RIGHT $145.00
--Cost ya $620 for all 4 after the first set(save $80/set vs Brembos )

Funny, the rear kit is initially more expensive than the front at $736,
but the rear replacement discs are cheaper at $145
??
Thanx for your help folks, I'm gonna decide between these two Rotors,
and get the Project Mu HC-TITAN Kai pads... and SS lines... and Dot 4...
