Derek, I'm not positive - but I'm pretty sure they don't clear...

If you can fit 25mm spacers, I have a set of H&R only a month old (actually used a month, bought more than a month ago though) in original packaging - they are painted satin black by AE - I'll give you bro deal if interested.

We've looked into it, and have not yet found a reason to.

My point was = there are lots of options for paint or PC... there are no 2-piece rotor options.

CZP has indicated they aren't gonna make it happen... and so far neither is StopTech... the only hope according to Coz is DBA coming through.

So unfortunately its not looking good for 2-piece

Hey guys noy sure if it helps, but i have a set of these I painted in white to match my z, and they cleared my stockers (06 18" wheels) just fine. But they did NOT clear my work emotions. I have some pix I can post for you all to show the clearance. I had to grind down a little meat with an angle grinder to have them fit under my WORKs. Now they clear and work just fine.

I ended up just painting mine myself with high temp caliper paint before I installed them on the car. Came out looking just fine, they just get dirty really easily, I think because the paint surface is so sticky. its not as smooth as a powercoat finish. I have some pictures of them I took 2 weekends ago, and I'll post them up when I get home today. I know they've been waiting for them on my350z.com too.

-Paul
