>>>This is a bit of confusion because people aren't speaking the same
language. The factory rotors are "two piece" in the sense that the hub is separate
from the disc. It's a one-piece disc, and a one-piece hub, and they attach
together. One plus one equals two.
The Mustang replacements are truly "one piece" as the hub is cast integral
with the rotor.
The assertion was made that it's not DOT legal any more for the disc to be a
separate item from the rotor, which isn't true, because many high-end cars
equipped with Brembos come that way. Having a unified rotor/hub is probably
just a cost savings measure?

stock rotors aren't.
