Are 2 piece rotors good?
Two-piece rotors offer some significant advantages, though, such as reduced weight as well as better heat dissipation, partly from the aluminum hat acting as a heat sink. Some two-piece rotors also offer increased airflow through the rotor because of the more open design where the hat meets the rotor face.
Do 2 piece rotors last longer?
Better Heat Dissipation The aluminum bell and the cast iron ring are two separate pieces. That means most of the heat from the cast iron ring isn’t transferred to the aluminum bell. Therefore, the vehicle’s hub and wheel bearings are not subject to extreme heat. This helps the wheel bearings last much longer.
How good are Hayes brakes?

How much lighter are 2 piece rotors?
Most OE replacement 2-piece rotors have the same hat thickness as the OE disc it replaces. Average weight savings in my experience is 2 to 3.5 pounds per rotor, which is always a good thing, although at hundreds of dollars per pound, certainly not for every budget.
Whats better slotted or drilled rotors?
Given the choice between drill holes and slots, the drill holes will give you better braking power over slots for normal city/highway driving. This is why high end BMW, Porsche, Corvette, and Mercedes rotors are drilled, not slotted. However, for track racing (high speed stops), slotted rotors are the better choice.
Are Hayes Dominion brakes good?
Hayes did a really great job with the Dead Stroke, lever feel and the lever action. The brakes start to engage as soon as there is pressure on the lever and modulation is great. Increased pressure means more braking power until the brakes lock up.
