it depends on the rotor's actual weight..... 2 piece rotors are way lighter because they use an aluminum hat vs machined metal 1 piece....a heavy rotor isnt always a bad thing.....
Yes, they are lighter...by an ounce or two. If that. You'll *NEVER* notice.

2 piece aluminum hat rotors are a different story...
bill at poweslot told me no difference but they would be a minimal amt. less than stock, not enought to wipe a tenth off a 1/4 mile pass
im sure slotted arent that much lighter but drilled are a different story.they have to be lighter.

Hey you'd never know :)
difference between heavy rotors and hevy wheels is that heavy rotors actually do some good -- they dissipate heat from the braking surface. Heavy wheels don't do anything good for you.

You'll lose far more weight taking a dump before you get in your car.
