Anyone use the light-weight two piece rotors by Hardbar.... Are they safe and or worth the very high cost?
Thanks!

Everything is relative in regards to money for each person and performance.

Many here use them and anything hardbarUSA makes is safe and top quality. There are some other theads you can on peoples comment on the product.

Thanks John, I wanted to make sure they are topnotch as far as safety...I don't mind spending the money but I just didn't want to sacrifice safety!

Not to hijack his question, but how do they compare with Coleman which I am using now. In time, I will need to replace them, so simply trying to plan.
Thanks

It's more of a philosophy thing, most likely. Either you try to make your rotors last as long as possible, which means two piece with cryotreated rings and very carefully chosen pads, or you treat them as a wear item and replace often. If I were in the former group, I would not hesitate to get Gary's rotors.

Been running Hardbar for 3 yrs on the C6 Z. No issues. Good stuff.
I think those are Coleman rotors on the hats...??

Been running Coleman on the AP hats on the C5Z for 12 yrs.

Colemans are 6.5 lbs lighter then stock
Hardbars are 11 lbs lighter then stock........

Hardbars are about twice the cost..

I'm running the Finspeed 2-pc rotors w. stock calipers/pads & am 100% satisfied. Each front rotor weighs 10 lbs less than stock, each rear weighs @ 6 lbs less than stock..the rear's are ebrake compatible.

Top pic is the rear, bottom pic is front;

I wonder if the rotors could hold up to track pads such as DTC-70 or XP-20 etc...

I thought that was the whole point of a 2 pc rotor. . .

Not really...........some two peice rotors are made for reduced weight but are not recommended for track use do to lack of durablity and safety issues...
