Thank you Super for that fantastic write-up. You need to publish a mini book or addenum to the user manual and sell it on Amazon or ebay for mods, DIYs, detailed specs and info. Put me down for one for sure...

Hopefully the weather holds up. It's not looking good w/ a 70% chance of rain.

Super, as usual, great writeup.
If you look at the pics with the rotors on the scales, the friction discs on the used OEM rotor looks noticeably thicker than the brand new evo replacement, while the evo rotor appears to maintain a similar overall width by having a wider vented area. You'd have to throw a caliper or mic on them to be sure, but I'd guess a good bit of the weight savings is there. The rest is coming from the lighter hat. Probably more of the same on the rears.
These appear to be a solid, weight-saving product and deliver the anticipated improvements. $2k sounds expensive for a consumable wear item to me, but high performance brake parts are indeed pricey, regardless of who makes it (brembo, girodisc, stoptech, et al.). Those chasing the nth-degree of performance will likely pony up the cash.

We need to do a full blown track rental soon. No better way to get a ton of runs in. Need to make some calls.

agree!
Thanks, I appreciate that.
I ordered my Forgestar Wheels from James@ACGSD. His price was the best and his service is fantastic.

None fast enough!
Great post as always!
FYI, the OE front floating rotors are $2K (just for the front), so ours represent a real savings of weight and money!
Thanks

Does anyone know the weight savings comparing the OEM vs OEM floating PP rotors? I'd venture a guess that, lightest to heaviest, would be evo, OEM floating, OEM fixed... but that's just a guess.

OEM P30 2-piece front rotors are 6-lbs lighter than the OEM solid front rotors. Taken from Simon @ evosport here -> https://mbworld.org/forums/3434358-post24.html
Based on my scale and Simon's note:
evosport 2-piece front, 23.33-lbs
OEM P30 2-piece front, 29.58-lbs (approx.)
OEM 1-piece front, 35.58-lbs

At this time, we do not offer drilled only. There is no performance reason to do so. The rotors work best as slotted only, and we only add the drilled option to the slotted for aesthetic.
