Default 2 piece rotor question

I have a set of 2 piece rotors coming. They will last much longer than than NAPA's. What other benefits have you racers found from these. Does it affect fade?, pad wear?, will they dissipate heat better?

thanks

They reduce the weight of the car.
Unsprung weight at the wheels and sprung weight at the wallet.
The quality of the materials of the ring and how many vanes are in the ring will have the the most to do with how long they last and what their thermal capacity is.
Fade and pad wear are all up to the pads you use.

Some two piece rotors are heavier than OEM GM

slotted feels better to me for less fade.

how they last depends on what they are made of and how they mount to the hat.

Sounds like you haven't started carting around nitrogen.
