Performance brakes but can't go BBK

Looking to upgrade at least the fronts for now as I will need to replace the pads soon. The point would be to upgrade not just go OEM replacements. Id like to accomplish this without paying an arm and a leg for a BBK. Ive heard 2 piece floating rotors? Any suggestions on brands? Has anyone else gone about this upgrade this way? Any input would be appreciated! Thanks

Z435is front rotors are two piece plain rotors saves like 2 lbs per rotor and better heat char.

Ecs tuning has a nice two piece rotor for the front as well.

You'll find tons of pad choices on here. OEM is great is you like a strong bite. Hawk HPS is awesome much more linear brake pad

ECS "true" two piece rotors or OEM Z35is floating rotors.
You spend either $600 for the ECS or $400 for the OEM.

You save an extra ~2 lbs per rotor with the ecs brakes as well as they are closer to a true floating 2 PC than the z435is rotors
