2 pc rotors would also drop some weight of the car.
Yeah, those 15" brakes are MASSIVE! The calipers are really way too big. They look like they were taken off a dump truck. The pads extend way down "below" the pistons too. I would like to see a narrow band two piece rotor with "shorter" pads. It would reduce the swept area but I highly doubt that would entail a performance problem. All sorts of "race brakes" have way less swept area than the OEM 15" jobbies.
I wouldn't be surprised if two piece rotors with aluminum hats dropped 5-6lb/ corner.
