Alternative to Z1 2 piece rotors?

osbornsm · 05-02-2019, 11:16 AM

DBA rotors makes the best replacement available for the 370z Akebono-sized rotors.

DBA-5000 T3 - fronts
DBA-4000 - rears

Z1 has the same idea, but you asked for a larger name.
It's also what I use at the racetrack.

Do NOT get drilled.
Slotted is just decorative.

I also have the same DBA's on my Z, but the fronts warped on their first track day and I'm on my second pair now. The track I go on has two very long fast straights requiring major braking at the end. Even though I did 2 cool down laps they still warped.
My shop says the Z is a bit heavy for the DBA-5000 T3 from their experience and suggest next time to get the slotted Akebono 2 piece rotors for a Z.

I have the RacingBrake 2 peice rotors. They are a bit $$ but worth it. I'm on my 3rd set of pads, and haven't done a thing to the rotors. They use a different grade of cast iron then anyone else.
