Rotor weight - The Camaro OEM discs are as mentioned 24.x lbs. The Corvette Z06 rings are several pounds lighter. I recall they were about 19-20 pounds.

OEM Corvette C6 J55 Heavy Duty one-piece rotors weigh about 22 lbs. In a nutshell, it sounds like the Girodisk (is that actually a type of sandwich?) rotors are lighter and more finely constructed. I'm not surprised. That's American versus Australian engineering and manufacturing for you. The 'muricans producin' stuff of the finest quality, & the ozzies producing substantial, no foolin' around products.

Hardware - We use a Grade 12.9 flanged HHCS and a NAS M6x1 high temperature self locking nut. They are 1-time use and do not require safety wire.

Thanks Ken! For reference, the OEM rotor ring weighs about 24.5 lbs. I don’t have any of the other specs though.

What type of hardware do they come with? TTY bolts or other? Can they be safety wired?

Do you have to replace with 2 piece set rotors or can you change it from two piece set to 1 piece set. Only reason why I’m asking is becuase there is a huge price difference

so curious, does this fit the CCB hats? i cant seem to get clear info on if i can run the girodisc on the stock ccb hats.

Didn't mention the kangaroo paw technology venting on those dba rotors

Surface Transforms for the win. Steel is just too heavy.

DBA 4000xs rotors for rears, that are just steel are over priced!!!!
