Mostly 2 pc floating rotors. 1 pc rotors are quite.

the issue with stock rotor is that when a prolong driving and stopping on the road, the steering feels a bit unease during braking.

i have read through the forum and found out that other member having the same issue.

just would like to know whether the upgraded rotor might reduce the wobbling steering during braking?

Under heavy braking any performance car is going to have a tendency to track the grooves in the road. This isn't a 370Z specific problem, it's just physics.

I think the wobble he is referring to is when the rotors are a little warped. Mine are that way since I have did a full autocross season this year. I am looking at something that is street friendly but holds up way better when I throw some autocross/track time at it. I am guessing steel lines and fluid will help with the break fade (high temps = bad braking... or breaking bad lol). I am thinking a stoptech or better rotor and then pads... eh.. i keep looking at the specs. I know a lot of people buy the hawk racing pad thinking that they are going to be great for cross application.. but what i am reading is they are specifically designed for high temp track application. The Black and HPS pads from hawk are more for street/track.... I guess if your doing nothing but track then track pads are the way to go.. I think I am more street than track at this point.... I might just get a set to use for track (or get a miata to use for track).

I would hope he's gotten it handled sometime in the last two years :p

Just killed stop tech rotors (1pc) in no time w/ aggressive pads....going to try DBA 2pc 5000 rotors next. I see vette guys use cryo rotors with good results...may try those if the DBA's don't hold up to the abuse.

I have some 2 piece DBAs for sale, PM me

If you're gonna upgrade something then you should UPGRADE to something truly better. Some people have said the Stillen rotors are good but they aren't the best. Same goes for Z1. Now I don't mean to diss either brand. They're both reliable and make awesome products. But if your going to upgrade your rotors I say get some 2 piece rotors. DBAs have good rep. Z1 has some 2 piece rotors that are track tested. CZP just made some 2 piece rotors. Just do your research :tup: btw Z1 has a sweet upgrade sport package brake kit for a decent price

cossie1600 12-29-2013 05:50 PM

Wear ever brake rotors $100 for the pair!

Depends on what you're doing. Going better means money. Many track guys use cheap autozone blank throw always. No need to spend all that money if you have to replace them often.

If your vehicle is primarily daily driven and you are only seeing one track day a year, than the PowerSlot rotors would be fine for you. The next step up would be the StopTech slotted rotors, and even further would be the DBA 2 piece rotors.

Please feel free to PM me if you would like a quote on any of these options.

I tried to PM you but it says you box is full and can't accept messages. Can you PM rate into on the rotors your mentioned and/or post it in the forum please?

I don't see the point in 2 piece unless you are tracking a lot. I am happy with Z1s one piece slotted rotors and they do great at the track with PFC 08 pads (not a DD pad).

Make sure you look up the weights of the new rotors. the heavier the better.


Some good info in this thread about rotors: http://www.the370z.com/brakes-suspen...otors-pfc.html

I think you have it backwards. For the street you want the bling and street cred and longevity of a two piece since theyre expensive to replace. Plus the light weight, better mpg, better light to light etc.

For the track you want a cheap *** blank you can toss after a hard *** weekend and not care. $275 pre outer for a two piece adds up for a big time track car.

I think we said the same thing? I use cheap(ish) 1 piece blanks that I replace for the track. and OEM for the street.

If I was made of money I would have PFC 2 piece rotors for the track, but if I was made of money I'd probably have a porsche instead

Not that p cars don't have their share of problems or complaints by owners (center lock wheels for example), but yea I would like p cars too.

Cryo treated rotors should be an option to consider imo
