11-12 Light Weight Front Brake Rotors?

[BLK96NAPWER]

Just curious from you experience what the best 14" two piece lightweight brake rotor is for the 11-12 500 with the factory Brembo 4piston brake set up? Anything direct swap?

Thanks,
Les

How much lighter are the DBA's?

I too would be interested in hearing what rotor options exist that swap in keeping the OE Brembo's. For example does Baer have two piece slotted option? Interested in changing both front & rear rotors, thx.

As I recall 07-11 fronts are all the same.

DBA or Full Boggie

Search this sub-forum for Full Boggie, there's a entire thread on his topic.

I used the Shelby two piece rotors and Hawk ceramic pads. Very happy with the setup.

I have the Baer 2-piece 14" rotors with Hawk pads on my car too.

They have been on for two years now and have not yet begun to crack, I check them every oil change just to be sure.

Here is what I found -

Stock rotors are 25.4 pounds each

DBA are 21.8 pounds each -

Stock on left, DBA on right

How many miles on that stock rotor? It may not be much, how're IMO a new stock rotor probably weighs a bit more.
