These are manufactured by Performance Friction The E-bay price looks good. Gruppe-S sells them for %650.00 per pair.

I got these and passed them on to Wrathafier here. He said he likes them and they were half the cost and included front and rear.

Sure, true floating rotors are preferable for serious track use. However, I would hardly say that a 2-piece non-floating rotor "wouldn't be worth crap." After all, people are tracking their Evos with stock 1-piece rotors and they hold up just fine.

Personally, when I had my custom rotors designed, I specifically did NOT want true floating rotors. They are just too noisy and high-maintenance for a street driven car. (Even though I'm a track junkie and do probably one event every week or two over the summer months, my car still sees 90% of it's use on the street!)

For my use, fixed 2-piece rotors are the perfect option. You get some of the major benefits of a 2-piece design (light weight, less heat transfer to hubs/wheel bearings, and lower rotor replacement cost) without the compromises of a floating design on the street.

It's not as bad as you think. Stock rotors list for $500 a pair. My stock rotors barely made it through a single summer of track use. The up-front price of the 2-piece rotors my friend has designed for me will cost around $550 to $575, which is about the same as a set of stock rotors. However, once the rotors wear out, the replacement cost will be MUCH less.

Once you've invested in the aluminum hat and mounting hardware, you can just buy the rotors themselves. Replacement cost should run around $200 a pair. In the long-term, you end up saving A LOT of money.

It's basically done. The rotors are in. The aluminum hats just got back from annodizing. They're already assembled and waiting to be tested. Problem is, I'm in NJ for the next 3 weeks studying for my board exams. I won't get to test them until early June.
