2-piece Aluminum Hat rotor for stock Brembo caliper figment

3628 Views 11 Replies 8 Participants Last post by  nicklulu
I've been hoping @OAKOS Automotive or another vendor would have news about the DBA (Disc Brakes Australia) 5000 series rotors becoming available for the front calipers.

We need a good 2-piece aluminum hat rotor for our front Brembos. I'm shocked it's taking this long for anyone to make progress on it. Seems like crickets out there.

Anyone heard of a possible supplier? Does TCA still do kits like this?

Bumping this old thread because I couldn't find any posts about the EBC 2-piece rotors: Fully-Floating 2-Piece Brake Rotors - EBC Brakes

I ordered a set of the SG2FC2030SF. "SF" (Special Finish) version has Nitrous Blue anodized aluminum hats - they look really fancy on the coffee table as conversation pieces. :) If anyone else has installed these rotors I would appreciate any feedback (good or bad) regarding the installation, maintenance, or driveability issues. My biggest concern is whether the stainless steel hardware will stand up to winter corrosion.

Thanks,
J.

The nuts and bobbins are stainless, the clips are double zinc plated. All of which are highly resistant to corrosion and rust. I hope you like them :)

I ordered them from Demon Tweeks:

Did you happen to weigh them, or know how much they're supposed to weigh? I checked EBC and retailer, and couldn't find that information. It's good to have another option for 2-piece rotors!

Here is a weight comparison of our 2-piece rotor vs an OEM solid vented disc. I have to admit I am not 100% sure which car this is from, but it shows there is a 2kg weight reduction using the SG2.
2kg may not sound a lot, but as un-sprung weight can reduce a significant amount across the four wheels.

Installed the EBC 2pc rotors. They weigh about 19lb each.

The blue centre hub looks great with the calipers!

It would have looked even better if the red jack stand was also blue. 😉
