Ok guys. Here is the deal. If we get 30+ rotor, we can get it for 272 each. I already have two people interesting buying a pair. That's 4 rotors. We need 26 more rotors to get it for $272 each. Anyone interested? Im going make a GB thread.

2 piece FRONT rotors: $272 each
Do you have the weight of each rotor?
Are 2 piece REAR rotors available too? Price?
Do these rotors fit all G37's as long as they have OEM big sport brakes right?
I have a 2008 G37S coupe RWD.

How about the CZP 2 piece rotors? They look nearly identical to the DBA 2 piece..
I'm aiming for lightweight but RacingBrakes 2 piece are expensive.
CZP G37 2 Piece Rotor Set - Sport Model - Akebono, Cross-Drilled/Slotted - 2pc Front - performance parts
"It's been a long road, but they are finally here. Introducing the New CZP 2-Piece Rotors for the 370Z and G37 Sport Models. These also fit 350Z and G35 Running w/ the Front Akebono 14" Big Brake Kits.
The CZP 2pc Rotor are 23lbs compared to the 30lb Stock OEM Rotors. That's a weight savings of 14lbs on both rotors. CZP 2pc Rotors also include Thermal Stability Profiling (TSP) for improved heat handling, Thermo-Graphic paint markings for effective heat monitoring and Kangaroo Paw ventilation which runs cooler, stronger and outperforms traditional straight vane disc rotors by up to 20%. Our Hats are Aerospace Grade, and use a 6061 Aluminum to allow the disc to expand evenly. This keeps down the heat, and provides additional protection for wheel bearings.

I personally would prefer rotors with a superior ability to deal with heat and I'm willing to deal with the extra weight that may be required for this. Their vane design is pretty unique and they are nice rotors, but not the lightest by any means. If you save 2-3 lbs per rotor by replacing the iron hat with aluminum than you are reducing your braking capacity as you now have a smaller heat sink.
Lighter rotors is not the way to braking performance.
Watch this video below. DBA rotors 10 times brake test. 10 meter shorter comparing to EVO stock brembo rotors

Lighter rotors do affect braking performance, among other things. RB's also have a very unique vane/open slot design that works very well in dissipating all that excess heat at the limits. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not discounting that DBA probably works just as well.
As for the comparison in that video, I'm a little wary of it since it shows a full brake swap (lines, pads, rotors, fluid). We can achieve the same thing by doing the same to our OEM set-ups sans rotors.

Stoptech Blanks AKA Centrics Premium Rotor. 28.6lb
The weight matches my postal scale too, but I couldn't get a clear photograph.
I'm not knocking the DBAs, but the Stoptech blanks were dirt cheap, I track the hell out of the car, and I'm not sure the 2.5lb in weight savings is going to make me anymore competitive.
