[QUOTE="WarrenRB, post: 1292065, member: 22870"] Making light weight two piece rotor for F150 was our first attempt for truck application recently, and we wonder why no brake company makes this available since 2009 until now. We first tried conventional surface mount design for a lower cost set up, then discovered the reason why; because with surface mount it's not possible to clear the bracket as showing in the pictures below. [ATTACH=full]285207[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]285208[/ATTACH] However RB center mount design hat can set the mounting flange and hardware below the rotor surface and therefore can avoid the interference w/bracket like surface mount two piece. We are just sharing this finding with F150 owners and let you know replacement two piece rotors can be made available, and the advantage of a light weight two piece rotors can make your F150 more responsive in acceleration as well as deceleration. Other than the weight advantage of a 2pc piece rotor, due to the center hat is a lighter weight aluminum (than iron hat), so it increases the distance of torque arm further out from the rotational axis, so the overall MOI benefit is more than just the weight reduction.
