Tobin- if you have a GM front z06 rotor in stock, check the weight, it's got extra material lugs (maybe for vibration?) in the hub area, I weighed on off my z06 and it was 28lbs; the LG 2pc with the Coleman rotors weigh 15.7lb with the hardware. They are not exactly cheap though. The DBA brand you sell gets good reviews for a 1pc rotor even for track use by the corvetteforum guys. -Dan
