Front Brakes
So i am curious if the two piece brakes are better than the one piece hub style. I feel like the two piece setup is easier for rotor changes and cost. So question is which system is easier. By cost comparison the two piece is cheaper but is it just as good as the one piece.

I still don't understand the question. The two types of rotors are not interchangeable without also changing out other components like the outer stub shaft for example. My '87 came with manual hubs so it has the oddball (1 piece) rotors. You do get a larger outer wheel bearing with that setup but the high shear wheel bearing nut isn't very good compared to the double but system. As far as easier for rotor changes, by the time I need brakes it is also a good time to repack wheel bearings so I'd consider that a wash.
By the way: The two piece hub and rotors are held together by the wheel studs and not the lug nuts.
