Hi!
My current BMW (F11 520D 2011) have these two piece brake rotors that I understand are constructed for low weight (unsprung mass). When I replaced the back rotors some time ago, I choose some Zimmermans that was not two piece, but instead drilled and slotted and I chose them mainly because I thought they looked good (I know, I am superficial and vain
). Their weight was 9.4 kg instead of the originals at 8,2, and I considered that good enough since some other brands weighted over 10 kg. They where also cheaper.
Now it is time to replace the front rotors and the same thoughts about weight pops up in my head, maybe it is more important that I think?
What is your view on this, does the weight of the brake rotors make a difference on a family car?
Thanks,
Lasse
