Default Stoptech OEM replacement rotors

I just came across This link saying that there is now a stoptech 2-piece replacement for the OEM calipers! Has anybody looked into this yet?

Couldn't find prices for the parts. WOuld like to know the price for the 2 piece and replacement rings.
The Centric 1 piece are pretty inexpensive, would love for this to be comparable.

Thanks for the link! When my current pile of Centrics wear out, will definitely pick up a set. Cooler hubs, FTW.

MSRP is around $800 for a pair. Shoot me a PM though.

The center is separate from the rotor in a 2-piece. That allows air flow through the rotor in a way that a 1-piece can't. Cooler rotors = cooler hubs. Also cooler rotors, less crackage and longer brake pad wear. Some people report twice the pad life with cooler rotors...

Nice good to see more 2 piece options available in OE sizes. Couldn't be happier with my 2 piece giro disc rotors.
