Weight savings will depend on whether you have the 1-piece or 2-piece OE front rotor now. If you have the 1-piece setup, then weight savings is 40-lbs unsprung weight. If you have the 2-piece setup, weight savings is 26-lbs unsprung weight. Total weight savings is on all four corners.

Barry, we're trying to get some shipped out late this week. Waiting on machining of next batch of front hats to be completed. If not, will be early next week. Feel free to email or call me direct for questions. I will keep you posted as well.

Evosport 2-Piece Rotor Installed on SL63 AMG (Note: Right-Side Rotor Shown):
That rotor was never installed on the car. Just used for the photo and at the time I didn't have access to the other rotor.

Thanks, missed that. I'm about to embark on a DIY of the rotors you sent me. Seems simple enough. As for the EBC brake pad warning, that isn't the factory OEM pads right?

Simon, How far out are you on shipping a full front and rear set if I were to order within the next week?

For a full set, we're about 2-3 weeks out on new orders right now. We should be down to a few days soon as we're ramping on inventory, but these rotors have been selling very well.

DIY - Procedures on the rear (front to follow)
I got a set last week. I've put on the rear rotors, but not yet the front. May tonight....
1. Remove rear wheel (duh, took me a while as the Einstein where I had the service B performed air hammered them on
) - 17mm Socket
2. Disconnect the stabilizer bar where the vertical member meets the cross member (you might not have to, but sure makes getting a socket on the top caliper bolt easier - 16mm Socket
3. Remove the caliper (2 bolts on inside of the caliper). Mine were tight as hell. I just swung it out of the way and rested it on the black plastic jack carrier that comes out of the trunk. - 18mm Socket
4. Remove the guide screw - Torx 30
5. Pull off the rotor - Rubber hammer
Reverse procedures.
Note: I used a jack (with a cardboard cushion) to jack up the bottom of the new rotor when reattaching the stabilizer bar (step 4).
I'll confirm all the Sockets tonight. Took me 1:15 hour on the first side and 30min on the other (once I knew what I was doing and had found all the appropriate tools. This time contemplates all the sweat equity of removing the lug nuts that were WAY too tight. Could have chopped at least 15min off at least.
