[QUOTE="ac427cobra, post: 15990826, member: 6247"] The larger the rotor, the greater the weight. 13" OEM Cobra rotors weigh 19#. These 14" rotors are 25#. 15" Shelby rotors found on the 2013-14 GT 500's weigh over 32#. The rotating mass and unsprung weight trade-off is well worth it upgrading from a 13" 2 piston floating PBR caliper to a 14" 4 piston fixed caliper. This kit was put together as a very affordable option to 'fix' the 'barely adequate' OEM caliper that came as original equipment on Cobra models. The 13" Y2K Brembo kit is absolutely better than the OEM brakes [b]BUT [/b]it's still only 13" which is the same 'leverage' as the OEM brakes. The leverage differential between a 13" kit and a 14" kit is what makes the difference with this kit. The rotors are readily available. We are working on a 2 pc bolt together street set that will be approximately 19.75#. There will also be a lightweight set available at about 18# which is 1# lighter than the 13" OEM rotor. That's the good news, the bad news is 2 pc rotors are a lot more expensive than 1 pc rotors. The 2 pc rotors will run in the $750.00 range per pair which adds considerable cost to the price of the kit. We may also make 2 pc 'floating' rotor sets depending on how popular the 2 pc bolt together rotors are. They will be slightly lighter than the bolt together sets but they will be more expensive. We hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
