Default one downside that has been mentioned about the ECS 2 piece

is that if they ever do decide to discontinue it, you won't be able to get a rotor for your car anymore.

Also, if you're not going to track it, you're really not going to get any benefit to the 2 piece rotors, at least I don't think. You'd probably be better off getting the A8 x-drilled or slotted rotors. If you're going for show, get the x-drilled (though they work fine on the track for me) and a lil more funcion the slotted.

Default that's a good point...

but if you're not going to track the car, will you really notice that much of a difference? I had a hard time telling a difference on the street when I swapped from my ronals (aka a lead brick) to my SLs, and the weight difference b/n those two is night and day. that might just be me though...
