Advice on which brake pad to choose.

2011 Nismo#91

Based on that, you really will not encounter any brake problems with OEM style. Go for low dust and quiet and even blank rotors will work fine. The more you go for performance the more problems you will encounter. I have had nothing but problems with the Z1 slotted rotors and carbo tech pads of any sort make a lot of dust and noise.

I don't think you had a problem per say. It appears your expectations were incorrect. I run the Z1 2 piece rotors all around and carbotech XP8's all around. They do just what they are supposed to do, stop me. Dust and some noise from time to time was expected.

Sorry for expecting the slots on the rotors should be somewhat similar in depth and width.

That should be fine Jhill

Agreed

Also consider braided steel lines and if you are getting hot, the Stillen brake ducts really help.

I ran hawk plus and slotted only Z1,rotors at the track quite a bit and love the combo. It's squeaky and dusty around town though. The rotors are noticeably lighter and feel great on OEM calipers with street pads
