Default Two pc Brake Rotor?

Looking to replace my front brake rotors with 2 pc rotors.[07 Z06] Thinking of using Stop tech aero-rotors. Have any of you used there equipment? Did you like it? Or should I use something else. What would you suggest. Thanks for your help!
Do not track my car but want to cut weight and have good brakes . Thanks again.

Lot of money for a little weight. I run the 2 piece zip rotors. They are nice, but hard to say worth the money. Stock rotors with good pads stop great and will put a hurt on any street tire and easily activate the ABS.

I haven't given any thought to the ABS. Do people have a problem with ABS when using aftermarket brake rotors

Unreal was referring to the street tires lacking grip, which can activate ABS. A different brand of rotor won't shorten stopping distance, but better pads and tires will.

If you want to cut weight, try draining excess wiper fluid.

Or swapping to base brakes which are even lighter and still have more than enough to stop the car and activate the abs.

No problem with the ABS. The hubs have the ABS sensor in them.

Plus Z06 brakes are junk. The pins freeze up, odd ball pads, etc. I put Wilwoods on my car about 8 years ago. Had Z06 brakes on for about a month.
