Power Stop 2-Piece Rotors
I searched around a bunch and didn't find any info on this-
Does anyone run Power Stop's OE 2-piece design rotors? I ordered their brake kit from Summit last night. The website says they're on backorder. The price was around $700 for the full set. I'm assuming that's pads x8, rotors x4, hardware, and sensors. Their full-cast set was less than $450 for the same package. I've used their full-cast rotors on my Audi and my MDX and been pleased with the performance, so I thought I'd give this kit a try. It's going on my 2011 F10 550ix. I suppose I'm really wondering if this kit comes with front 2-piece rotors that are cross drilled, slotted, and floating? I found zero actual photographs online of this setup. |

For the 535 anyways you can also get Pagid two-piece from ECS and Rock Auto (significantly less expensive at Rock Auto).
I put the Pagids on the front in Dec - look like quality pieces. They are not drilled or slotted, but are two piece. They are the only two piece option I've seen for sale other than "BMW". I have found references that Zimmerman also makes a two piece version, but have never found someone who sells them, only the single piece version. They are not true floating (like the M5 set up), but are two piece riveted same as factory. |

Well, the Z23 kit arrived at Summit Racing today, so hopefully they will be shipped out soon and I can get some pics up!
Thanks for the tip on the Pagid rotors. I had been shopping FCP and ECS for the rotors, when I started considering solid cast Power Stop rotors and went to their application guide. The whole kit was $694 shipped, including taxes, using the $30 off coupon on the website. As for Rock Auto, I'm sad to say they will not complete my order attempts, citing not having infrastructure to collect and remit taxes in my area. Quite a sad revelation. If I had known that was coming, I would have ordered a few years worth of parts for my three vehicles. |

As far as I understand their explanation, it's because sales in my city require remittance of sales tax at the city and state levels, due to the Wayfair v. South Dakota. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sout...._Wayfair,_Inc. On another note- the arrival of my $700 brake package was disappointing. Apparently Power Stop shipped the wrong kit, resulting in me receiving only carbon ceramic brake pads. A quick phone call to Summit Racing cleared this up and I'm told my brakes are being shipped direct from Power Stop. I'm still planning to post pictures upon their arrival. |

Delayed order, again.
I received an order update from Summit this morning. The message indicates that the brake kit is being shipped directly from the manufacturer. The new expected shipping date is 5/7/20. If this holds true, the lead time from Power Stop will be a little over 2 months. I can't imagine they get requests for 2-piece riveted rotors very frequently. Some delays are not at all unexpected. I'm hoping they're making something super fantastic and nearly one-off for me. |

Did you know that power stop is also a ebay vendor under the name brake motive? You can get this a HECK of a lot cheaper through ebay... The reason I know? I ordered these and the UPS address for the shipper is called "Power Stop".

I think Power Stop is just the supplier for Brake Motive. Brake Motive sends Power Stop their specs, and Power Stop makes it, just like how Eibach makes the ACS springs.

So, to follow up a long-ass time later. Power Stop no longer makes these 2-piece drilled or slotted rotors. I went through several rounds of trying to acquire them from Summit Racing and through Powerstop customer service. All promising leads were dead ends. I ended up buying cast single piece rotors from Brakenetic on eBay. They seem to be working well, with no obvious problems in 2.5k miles (haven’t done much driving since May, 2020).
I replaced my rotors because the factory rotors were done. I don’t know if there’s and appreciable performance difference between new Pagid rotors and the Brakenetic rotors I installed. I have not found the Brakenetic rotors to cause any sponginess when they’re cold, which is something I’ve experienced with other drilled rotors on other cars. Because I don’t have a valid experience with new Pagid rotors, nor have I had the mileage to really test the Brakenetic rotors, I can’t provide a recommendation based on functionality. However, they look cool and they seem to have quality construction. Please ignore my horribly disfigured garage floor. It’s an old garage built on expansive soil. |
