Steel rotors on 370z?

Get your stock replacement rotors and pads and let's back off this bench racing talk

If you want to talk actual braking performance upgrades, head to the track forum and they'll tell you to get new lightweight 18, sticky tires, a better pad compound, 2 piece rotors, sport calipers or better, some better fluid and SS lines, and ducting, along with coilovers and the SPL package

All of which you aren't gonna do

So why are we playing around?

Go to autozone, spend a couple bucks, and enjoy your trip to school/grocery store

if you DID want to drive the car fast, there's way more crap you'd need to learn and worry about then ******* rotors

You drive your car on the street with no performance context, just replace your brakes with autozone stuff and put the bench racing crap away

I don't track my car yet I opted for the lightweight z1 rotors, are you going to call the performance car police on me too?

I have 2 piece rotors on all four corners. The only way you will feel the weight difference is on the track, IF you have track experience. You'll feel a greater difference in how the car handles by installing lighter wheels. That's money better spent on building a nice daily driver anyway.

I cannot, under any circumstance, recommend someone buying a 2 piece, steel, or carbon rotor kit for street use only.

High carbon rotors will make for more initial bite and greater thermal capacity and they're cheap. They may be available for the base brakes, I'm not fully certain as I have Sport brakes.

Also running Stoptech street pads, SS lines, MC brace and RBF fluid. Night and day over OE responsiveness, feel and thermal capacity. Very little dust.
