What kit did you go with?

I'm in the Fast Brake/Wilwood groupbuy, but haven't decided whether to go with 1 piece or 2 piece rotors ($500 extra I believe). Also awaiting updates on the rear kit...

Dude, go 2 pc. on the front - you won't regret it. The rear I will do eventually but not until the new motor is in and running.

Thanks everyone!

everytime i see a post like this it makes me think about it...like...i really don't need more stopping power...the car is light and the v6 brakes are strong enough to stop on a dime...unless i run slicks or something the car will never have a problem locking the tires up....

but i am interesting in the weight savings in the unsprung weight category...i've been contemplating throwing some Spoon calipers on there and calling it a day...but now im wondering if theres more weight to be saved if i went with one of these rotor designs with the aluminum hats...

i won't really be into this until the very last thing but i keep thinking and thinking and can't make up my mind....

You should PM Kiet (nighthawk04v6? I think) about it. He has Wilwoods.. his rotors weigh like 4 lbs, they're a bit smaller than the 13" ones and a little bit bigger than OEM. Wilwood sells them.. hella light.

I'm sure the caliper is 4lbs and not the rotor, I know the Wilwood superlite calipers I have are the same ones in this thread and they are 4lbs. The rotor is heavy no way it can be 4lbs.
