Does anyone make lightweight rear brake rotors for the stock calipers? 1999 F body drag car.

Bump..I'd like to know this as well. Seems like an overlooked spot to save some weight on a drag setup.

I doubt anyone will make these a the rear emergency brakes need the little drum in the middle. So there is really no easy way to make a 2pc rotor.

I have the Baer Eradi Speeds front and rear, but only the fronts are 2pc. I looked before buying these.

If you do find one let us know.

More effort should be spent dropping weight off the nose. For stock setup the only thing would be a cross-drilled rear rotors. Other than that, race setup with lightweight everything and less mass to absorb heat (not good for street!).

Bump...Just wondering if any there was any new info about this out there?

Yes, I NEVER understood the concept of trying to drop every ounce off of a drag race car, and then insisting on an iron block on the nose, even for a naturally aspirated, NO nitrous set up.

Rotors have rotational mass. The engine actually has to spin them. So they have a greater impact than your average weight savings.

dailydriver

I was speaking to the weight reduction in general, NOT necessarily rotational, unsprung weight.

Why add the weight of an iron block in the WORST place if one does NOT need it's 'strength' for forced induction, or even spray??

Ok. Thought you were talking about rotors based on the thread.

Any two piece rotor SHOULD be lighter in weight, Baer manufactures the "Eradaspeed" rotors.

Baer only ever made 1pc rotors for the rear of the F Body. I think they have also discontinued the front 2 pc units. I just sold 2 pairs of fronts and still have the 1 pc still on the rear.
