burning brakes smell, brake fade.. NO BRAKES.. need advise

Correct in theory but I don't think a few grams of weight saved per rotor would amount to appreciably better gas mileage.

especially when using 18's and putting the weight of those tires further away from the hub. also, considering all the hundreds of pounds of unsprung weight, those few grams wouldnt amount to much. i'll agree that they look bling, but definitely not worth me paying more than $20 per rotor for some autozone blanks. i'm not surprised that the STi brembos are only available through the dealer or probably through brembo. those things are huge, and hopefully i wont have to get new rotors anytime soon. (yay for subaru warranty replacing wear items including my front rotors at 35k miles)
