Lightest ones on the market, the 2 piece Baer EradiSpeed-Plus rotors.
To give some comparative weight numbers per rotor:
Stock rotors - 9.7kg
DBA 5000 - 8.4kg
Girodisc 2pc - 8.25kg
Project Mu SCR-Pro - 8.16kg
Baer Eradispeed - 7kg
So that's almost 3kgs of rotating mass removed from each side...
$480 for the
pair out of the US. Just waiting on what will no doubt be a hideous freight cost
Thinking it'll be around the $250 mark.
They look the sh*t and a good price too

UPS quote was $489
But USPS was only $189
So $684 US all up
That's approximately
half the price of anything available locally like DBA 5000s or the Project Mu's.
And they wonder why the retail industry in this country is going down the shitter...
Coming from these guys BTW:

Hey Ben, they look like they're curved vein? Are they floaters or solid mount?

Yep, curved vein, but only solid mount. The floaters were another $150 each. Not really needed for my singular track day per year

Bit like using the word 'Evo' over here, everything is 10 times more expensive, the key is to use the word 'Galant' over there as opposed to 'Eclipse' in order to pay half the price!

These brakes have started clunking a bit recently, especially when when going from forward to reverse as the pads shift. So ordered a new set of retaining springs, pins & shims. Genuine Brembo, $120 all up from Amamamamamamamayama
