This. If you do the math, the 2 piece will actually be cheaper in the long run, not to mention all of the track benefits.

yes you are correct, i just won the pads.

different strokes for different folks. $1200 for long tubes and high flow cats makes ME barf, but on the other hand i'll drop a ton of coin on suspension and brakes for my car, because that's the area I feel the car needs the most improvement.

you need to take that thing out on a road course where it really shines. it will make you forget about how much it sucks as a drag racing car, lol. Summit Point isn't too far from you.

I dont blame you on spenging the coin. I have two friends who are trying to get me to go to Summit and/or VIR, but i dont have a trailer and i feel like that is HARD on the car to drive 4 hrs there, beat the hell of of her for hours, then drive her home. Its my daily during the spring, summer, and fall and thatll get expensive with brakes, tires, clutch. Maybe one day i truly would love to try it.

EDIT: oh yeah, and they look F&#@ing BAD ***. lol
All that, plus an added bonus I didn't expect with my two-piece fronts is pad noise was reduced. I'm assuming due to the floating design.

good point, the whole floating rotor design itself has it's own lists of benefits...
