If you're looking to save weight/rotational intertia, why not run no rotors? Pull the rears out, it's not like you do most of your breaking with them anyway

Hmm, on second thought, I'm not sure if you're talking about SC rotors, or brake rotors

In my book, the only upgrade from stock Brembo rotors are these:

Powell Race Shop NASCAR style slotted floating rotors with hats, Brembo front, 315 mm x 28 mm

Next on my list as soon as the motor is built

So, the question is, is he talking about lightweight brake rotors? Or Supercharger rotors (vanes) ?

How many years old is that thread? And they never posted the end result. The vendor claims install error and refutes a claim of poor design or poor testing. Who's to know? The thread is open ended.
