Paragon M3P Two-Piece Front and Rear Rotors. Yes, they are lighter! :)

[Motion122]

Paragon two-piece rotors for M3P. Curve vanes, larger cooling openings, etc.

Rear is 3 lbs lighter!

Front is 0.6 lb lighter but also thicker. Double win!

Less expensive alternative to Girodisc.

Do you know if they sell the rotor rings for replacement?

Yes, they sure do!

Is lighter better for sure? Lots of braking heat tolerance comes from thermal mass.

Most of the weight savings came from the alum. hat. The stock pillar vanes may have more thermal mass the but curved vanes are better air pumps.

The front rotors are thicker than stock and at the end of the vehicle that needs it the most.

how thick is the hat at the rear? and at the front?
I need to compare it with the 25mm thick Stock performance hat.

Paragon two-piece rotors have hats that are 3.5 mm thicker than the P rotor hats. The step will be covered so no need for a step hub centric ring or wheels with the step center bore.

Are you seeing any glazing or hot spots with these so far?

No, not at all. A Youtuber did a review on my car blasting through Angel Crest Highway, no issues. I did an autocross as well, not even a sweat from these rotors. If you get the pads above MOT, you may get glazing and/or hot spots. Since these run cooler than factory rotors, the chances of that happening should be lower. However, aggressive street and track driving can still get them toasty. Match the pads to the type of driving you do, you should be good to go.
