S8 slotted 2-piece rear rotor ...
... slightly used.
I just saw this on the <A HREF="http://www.stasisengineering.com/specials.htm">Stasis Special Offer</a> page -- $250 for what looks like a drop-in replacement for the S8's stock 280x22mm rear rotor.
From the picture, even though wear on the rotor looks negligible, the price is probably a bargain for the aluminum hats alone. This saves
about 4 lb/corner compared to the one-piece OE rotor, and I believe Stasis uses a Coleman rotor.
The is very similar to my 298x20mm Stasis rear rotor set-up -- besides the slightly larger diameter rotor, this Stasis kit included an S4 caliper
carrier and a bracket to move the caliper out.

The ceramic brakes on the Porsche GT2 ...
.
save ~20 lb/corner compared to the standard 4-pots with 13" rotor on the 911. I believe PCCB (Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake) is a $5000 option on the Carerra 4S, and it's a bargain. I'd love to see this type of brake as an option on the next S8.
Carbon/carbon brakes would be better yet, but unfortunately, they pretty much don't work very well until they're red hot, like on track ... nuts ;-P
