Brake Pad Reviews

AP - Chris_B

Float springs have been around for quite some time, just like those found on the R35 GT-R. A better approach for decoupled rotor assemblies is AP Racing's patented strap drive system, if it can be justified. This system provides all the benefits of a floating system without the problems of rattling, debris on the bobbins, etc. There are no moving parts in a strap drive assembly, so no issues with brake dust or any other gunk. No, these are not available for the 370Z at this time, but with enough serious interest a solution could be looked at...

Strap Drive Disc Assembly



The reality is that 2-piece floating rotors are not advantageous for 99.9% (or more) of drivers that use their cars on the street. Let's just say if you trailer your car to the track, you MAY be a candidate for a full-floating setup. For most part, 2-piece bolted disc assemblies (non-floating) will have most of the advantages people are looking for with less of the drawbacks.
