I have some for cheap( $50 bucks) that have less than 15k miles and 3 track days.
Took these off because they weight A TON. After going back to lighter 2pc rotors
not sure what i was thinking getting these on.

My club sport suspension is so much nicer / steering is much better after
getting rid of these anchors.

I've had/used different types of rotors for years. I never noticed any increased wear on anything. What "vastly increasing wear and tear" are you seeing? And most important to me, I have no noticeable speed or lap time difference. I can win my DE with heavy or light rotors! YMMV.
In all seriousness, it's about cost/benefit for me. Any marginal improvement by reducing weight by only a few pounds per corner doesn't make up for the cost differential to me. I don't see any difference in wear/tear/speed/etc. Sure, they're heavier. But they are $100.

But i noticed a huge difference in car characteristics between heavy /light rotors.
I do drive my car on the street mostly not just track. I suppose that maybe the difference between you and me where i can notice it with my aftermarket coilovers. Flat smooth surface vs. bumpy crap CA hwy surfaces.

do you drive your car on the street? did you feel your suspension ride smoother on street roads ? etc. that is where i noticed the biggest difference for me.

Completely stock 6 GT3. Can't tell the difference except my wallet is not as light. Admit to not having won a DE in a long time however

650 front / 1050 rear. KW CS.
I wonder if it has to do with the fact that mine is AWD, and you already feel that load with that system on ? Who knows, thing is , i noticed a drastic difference.
That said, you guys should get my cayenne rotors as backups for cheap then

F1CrazyDriver is obviously a more sensitive driver than I am; I've always admited how insensitive I am - still respectably quick but numb to slight changes. E.g. ask me if changing camber .5* made a difference and I'll probably reply "what was my time and I'll tell you." I've seen plenty of guys on forums claim that a 5# lighter wheel on a 3200# car "made such a dfference!" I'm like, yea, you and Ayrton Senna.
