R1 Concepts 2-Piece Rotors?

Hey guys, we're thinking about designing our own 2-piece rotors to fit on these AMG cars but not sure just yet..My question to you all is are you willing to purchase 2 piece rotors if we were to design these for the C63 AMG? Please let me know! It would be best if everyone could reply back with a yes, thumbs up, or like each person does a count down from 1-?? if you know what I mean. Hope to see what you guy think!

If they are better value than OEM, lighter, strong, track-able. Then yes for sure.

Thanks for your response! There is no price or how much these rotors will weigh just yet..Just want to know how many of you are willing to purchase these rotors if we decide to make them.

Price is not necessarily a big point. I am paying for QUALITY. I have zero problems with my OEM P30 2 piece rotors. They are strong and reliable and worth every penny.

Your product needs to meet or exceed the OEM reliability and track performance for me to commit.

Definitely interested, Weight / Price Point is important. However as AMG Boost mentioned, we are looking for a durable rotor.

You guys have been around for some time, I remember using your rotors back in the day and they were okay for what they are.

Keep us posted!

Not sure how you expect customers to seriously commit when they dont know a) price b) if they will be any better than stock? Would YOU commit to anything under those circumstances?

Yes if you can come up with a matched street pad combo and steel braided lines that are dot approved.

Price/weight/quality will be key factors before committing to buy.

Thanks for all your replies. If you haven't noticed, we only sell 1 piece rotors and are thinking about selling 2 piece rotors pretty soon which is why I wanted to ask you all. The only information I know is that these 2 piece rotors will have aluminum hats, not steel. We don't know what the price will be yet but it will be competitive pricing.

We don't know the weight and everything else as well since we are still in the early stages of making these rotors. We have chosen to use the C63 because it's compatible with some of the other AMG cars such as the CLK63 black series, E63 and so on..One I get more information about these rotors, I will let you all know.
