anyone know of a company that is making a 2 piece floating rotor for the rear of the non-brembo z's? Thanks

 

i don't think so, floating rotors are used only with fixed calipers.

 

damnit, was hoping to get some light weight rotors back there. thanks though.

 

if they did .. you'd be giving up your e-brake.

I'd send some enquiries out to various brake manufactures. For the right amount of money, you can have anything you want.

 

If you buy a used Brembo setup Stoptech makes 2 piece rotors for those. But no one makes a 2 piece for the standard brakes.

yeah, but then I lose the ability to run my 15" drag radials with the brembo's

 

floating rotors and floating calipers? right....

 

oops, just meant 2 piece rotor, not floating caliper

 

one like this

with brakes it's one or the other not floating everything. the reason why a rotor is floating or 2-piece is for expansion from heat.

 

there are several OE vehicles that come with floating rotors and calipers--have been since 95.

 

what would be the purpose? what carS?

 

the purpose would be the same on any car i'm not sure why anyone would think you could not use a 2pc rotor with a floating caliper--what would be the reasoning?

as for what vehicles:
E36 M3 euro
E34 M5--3.6 euro, 3.8 euro use a fixed caliper
E46 M3 CSL and US comp package
E60 M5
E63 M6
E85 M coupe/roadster
E90/2/3 M3
i'm sure there are others but i only know of these 100% for sure. i also know there is aftermarket 2pc rotors for bmw's--pfc comes to mind

bimmers love the 1 piston(E60/3 have 2 piston) calipers and 2pc rotors. it works very well for them. the only difference in the bmw rotors are they use a pin drive instead of a rivet/bolt for the hat/rotor connection.
