[QUOTE="Bad Company, post: 16876232, member: 141815"] At one time Ford Racing, now Ford Performance offered a 2 piece Brembo rotor kit to replace the stock rotors for the 2013/2014 GT500. The 2 piece rotors use a traditional aluminum hat with a steel rotor ring to reduce unsprung weight as the factory 1 piece rotors weighs approximately 30lbs each. The kit reduced this by 10lbs at each wheel if I remember correctly. I bought this kit as at the time no one else was offering a aftermarket 2 piece rotor to reduce weight. At the time the only ring available was a solid ring, no drilled, slotted or grooved ring was available through Ford. My thought were to replace the ring with a Brembo slotted ring if I ever needed to in the future. I don't believe Ford will ever offer a replacement rotor or ring for this application in the future. Ford advertised this kit as a custom design that they worked with Brembo to offer. I don't know if the custom aspect was the fact it was a solid ring so that it wouldn't change the braking characteristics of the car which would then not effect the way the ABS system functioned or what. I couldn't find any information about whether any of the 380mm x 32mm rotor rings from Brembo would fit the Ford Racing/Brembo aluminum hat. What you're purposing has been done by Brembo and Ford Racing Now the Type 3 ring is going to be aggressive on a street car with a lot of initial bite as you apply the brakes. It probably will upset the balance of braking between front and rear and it may also cause issues with the ABS system if you can't find something for the rear axle that will work in a similar manner. The Girodisc rotor you put a link to came out shortly after I bought the Ford Racing kit, I would probably go that route today.
