Mine are non ventilated sigma ones and would like to lighten them this
way instead of spending a fortune on alloy hat etc. Its anal and cheap but will it cause strength issues? need Dattoman1000 the specialist to comment.

unsprung weight is relative to sprung weight, so it would slighty assist the springs and shocks to hold the tires on the road moreso on our little sunnys then say a comenwhore, but unless youv added a lot more weight with a big modern turbo engine most ventilated disc mods are mad overkill anyhow. but you be best if it was of great consern to use a two peice rotor with an alloy iner.

this is a #OOPS# idea
decreases strength under brakes decreases strength under acceleration (if on driven axle) all weight removed from centre so has minimal impact reduces heatsink effect will do #OOPS#-all for performance

Wouldn't taking metal out of the hub area just mean more heat is stored in the rotor faces?

Can anyone suggest any negatives of doing this?
The positive is just less weight of course Attach file:  sivia zx ca18et rotors.JPG (15.87 KB)
