Default Two Piece Lightweight Rotors

Hi,
I'm posting over here (own a 2012 XFR) looking for anyone that has investigated lightweight two piece rotors. In the past, (Merc E63), I had Racing Brake make me a set of two piece rotors and saved a lot of rotational weight per corner. Has someone come across two piece options for Jaguar?

Thank you!

I don't think any of us have needed to replace our rotors yet, so no one may have looked into this yet. Please keep us posted here on the F-Type forum if you find anything.

So I have searched and searched but haven't found any two pieces rotors. Some companies are willing to do a "one-off" two piece at great cost but that doesn't sound too appealing. The solid rotors that I have found that seem decent are the R1 Concept Premier Rotors. They weigh just slightly less than OEM so I just might buy them.
I know it's a shot in the dark, but anyone else had any luck with finding a 2-piece rotor or other recommendations for a solid rotor?

If they only weigh slightly less, what's the point of replacing them? I doubt they will perform better than OEM. Have you worn through a set of rotors already?

I'm posting over here from the XFR forum. I have 50k on the clock and worn out rotors and pads. Thought someone might have looked into rotor replacement to reduce rotational weight for the F- Type.

Good question though. Has anyone worn out a set of F-Type rotors yet, and at how many miles?

I had R1 rotors years ago on a M3. Never had a problem with the rotors after way too many track days.

Some links below to a collaboration we did with Wilwood 3 years back to introduce 2-piece replacements for the Vantage & DB9.

If there is enough interest, I can get something going for the F-Type (and I'm assuming there's some crossover to other Jags.) Maybe people could chime in here and indicate their interest? We would need to have a certain volume to make the numbers work - in the case of the Aston Project I had to commit to taking a sizeable initial order, some of which was offset by initial orders and some which we had to stock.
