1pc Rotors are around 18lbs, 2pc Rotors will be around 15lbs.

Coz… so the weight difference between the front (14”) 2-piece vs 1 piece rotor is 10-12 lbs… but the weight difference between 13.8” rear 2-piece and 1-piece rear is only 3 lbs? (nearly same diameter)… I take it that means the front are substantially thicker? Otherwise how is the front variance so much greater than rear?

Excuse my ignorance – just trying to make an informed decision here…

Remember, I'm guessing here, as I do not have any 2pc rears to weigh, but yes the rears are thinner, and I'm professionally guessing

Coz, how much for the entire kit (Nissan) with teflon lines, slotted 1 pc rotors, hawk pads, and shipping to 65583? Also alot of people have asked about fitting certain wheels. Have these been installed without any clearance issues on the stock 18 inch coupe rims? Thanks

Sure, which hawk pads? I can't be certain on wheel clearance, please use template for that.

Instructions are included, dust shields need to be cut just enough to clear the rotors.

Coz, did you complete the install instructions (for adapter bracket)?... when I got my calipers you were still working on them... if they are available can you PM them or are they listed on CZP website?
