These are very nice. Ill be ordering a set of front 2pc Floating for track use later in the year. Just got my BC ERs in with RA custom valving and swift springs which ill post pics of later when i can get them taken.

As far as price Triple i cant remember how much the full kit is since im only looking at getting the fronts. PM Scott. He also has a "spacer kit" or something that will allow you to fit a thicker rotor in the rear if you so choose but dont quote me. It was just one of the many things we had talked about on the phone. So far RA has the best options (i think) for after-market rotors for your sport brakes.

Are these strictly for the track? I thought full floating rotors tended to be fairly noisy at low speeds...

Do you guys make semi-floating rotors too?

Although the rotors are designed for brutal track use, they are also street suitable.

The option of the full floating rotors can tend to make a little rattle noise when you are off the brakes at low speeds, but most don't seem to mind the noise givin all the benefits of a full floating rotor.

You have the option of ordering the rotors as full floating or non-floating.

Finally got around to installing my Relentless Autosports two piece floating front rotors and the custom valved BC ER coilovers with Swift springs. I will working on the rear shortly, but I did notice Zat_Zuma has installed his rear RA two piece rotors mentioned a another thread.

I used exisiting DIY's from this forum and the Nissan service manual to assist in the install. I don't think anything needs to be added except use the right tools and make sure your Z is properly and safely supported when working on the suspension. Some of the torque requirements are up tp 120 ft/lbs and breaking some the bolts loose remind me dreaded HFC bolt - torqued by Nissan to some ridiculously high but not required value.

When I get the rears done I will go for a test drive and then replace the brake pads and install the SS brake lines.

The Stillen sways will be installed prior to the first test drive.

Nice looking setup. Looking forward to some track performance review.

KillBill 10-16-2010 09:13 PM

Has anybody weighed the stock rears with the two piece...a few people asked but there was no response.

gpa7pk 10-17-2010 07:18 AM

Earlier in this thread I posted the front and rear rotor weight and savings over OEM rotors; which is right at 10 lbs per corner.

KillBill 10-17-2010 05:30 PM

The rears are definately not going to be ten pounds lighter per side....Has anybody actually gotten out a scale and weighed the stock vs. the rears?

If they are aluminum hats on the rear then yes they will be 10 pounds lighter if not more.

The RA rotors have aluminum hats and I weighed them on a plain old house scale. They are just a bit over 10 lbs lighter per rotor.

for the rears?? :confused:

How does the car feel now???

Did the brake line bracket that is attached to the body of the shock holding the brake line come with the shocks or did you have to take it off the old shock???

I am going to hit Scott up for this setup when I get back in country next month for my roadster.
