Project Mu HC Titan Kai + Two piece rotors? (FC3S)

My first question is whether theres any two piece rotor which will with with the stock caliper?

Mackin Ind. advertised, and a few others I know of had mentioned the Project Mu SCR-Pro two piece as available for the FC3S. I called Mackin and says it may have been an error in their catalogue. Can anyone deny or confirm whether the SCR-Pro was ever available for the FC in Japan or elsewhere? Or does anyone know of any other quality two piece rotors.

I was also looking between one of the PFC compounds and the HC Titan Kai pads. As far as PFC goes, one of the vendors I spoke to mentioned their only available by special order in sets of 50. Any info on somewhere that stocks some compounds for the FC?

I've heard a lot of good things about the HC Kai. Anyone else on the forum using them? Any recommendations on whether to also use HC Kai in the rear or to use a less agressive B-Force? Im looking for a pad that doesn't have a strong initial bite, with consistent if not progressively increasing friction coefficient as temps increase.

I've tried searching and have read the more recent threads. Thanks in advance.

Wow, those things are expensive!
Why not go with the Hawk HPS or HP+?

Also, the HC titan Kai's operating temp is about 800 degrees, so really it would be a track pad only. If wanting to stay with the Project Mu line, i'd personally reccomend the B-force, which has an operating temp 1/2 of that, 400 degrees. Doesn't hurt that the B-force is almost $100.00 cheaper.

Funny you mention this, because I just ordered up some rotors for the rear for my FD. The project Mu rear rotors were designed for the 2000' spec rear caliper, so they are much thicker and require 17's minimum for fittment issues. IIRC they are 12.5 inches large (forget the width, sorry). I couldn't find any info for the FC, or else I woulda added much more helpful info for you.

I've run the Project Mu Bforce pads with stock clipers/rotors on a few track days at VIR and they performed great. Consistent pedal feel, stopping power and never experienced fade.

I'd like to try something new out. I've felt the Hawks performance first hand but would like to get an idea of how the HC Titan Kai reacts.

As for operating temp, the car will be seeing majority track usuage for the remainder of the year. Whether or not to use the HC Titan Kai in the rear is what im questioning.
