2 piece rotors - floating vs fixed
DRM and Wilwood, among others, sell fixed 2 piece setups, so I assume some thought went into those setups. On paper, a floating setup seems like the obvious choice.
Anyone tried them out and noticed a difference in terms of longevity? I understand that some floating setups are noisy, which is not a concern if they have a longer life. I realize there a many variables that determine rotor life and it will likely be impossible to get a definitive answer.
I am finally seriously considering going to a 2 piece setup once I burn through my rapidly decreasing inventory of 1 piecers.

floating is better.
Find a floating 2 piecer that has the rotor ring in the size you want and then you can stock up on that pretty easily.
You'll crack your rotor into oblivion before durability differences arise on each rotor surface; at least in my opinion.
