So you're going to remove the OEM rotors? :)

Stock rotors weigh 17.5 lbs.

SZ 2-piece stock-sized rotors weigh 12.5 lbs, and that's unsprung weight savings.

Also, 2 piece 350Z track rotors weigh the same as OEM at 17.5 lbs, but you get greatly improved braking.

Not to mention it's also rotational weight. Should bring you up to speed in no time, but will it stop you too? :chuckle:
