Default lighter brake disks?

hey guys,

does anyone know if i can upgrade my oem heavy as *** rotors on my delsol vti (its the equlivant to the u.s VTEC and the jdm sir delsol) to take somthing like the wilwood 2 peice rotor+hats ? im not looking for a calliper swap, just a much lighter disk combo to further reduce the rotational mass of the drive train?

if people have already done it then please post up which kits and the compatiable disk sections + rotor hats :D

thanks in advance :D

i have lighter wheels (14inch racing sparco with toyo rs-1 tyres which are pretty light as far as a tyre go`s)), just looking at the next thing to reduce the mass, which is the brake disk being the next heavyest item that rotates along with the wheel.

I know that tunerschoice.com offers titanium rotors(they are just a little pricey though ). More realistically you may want to check out fastbrakes.com they offer several well priced kits.
