Front brake rotors only

TWYNBYZ · 05-24-2012, 10:38 PM

All

I'm considering replacing just the front rotors of my 370 Nismo with either Stoptechs or DBA cross drilled rotors. Am or will I face any issues by just replacing the front rotors and not the rears.

Your insight is appreciated!

Performance on the brakes will be slightly uneven but nothing drastic BUT it will look tacky.

Save your money and get this...

I wouldn't buy crossed drilled rotors.

Just a FYI.... We run a 355 front rotor w a 4 piston Brembo Race version caliper.... And on the rear a stock rotor w the 350z track model gold Brembo caliper and it still takes some finagling to get the bias away from the rear.
So IMO you will be juuust fine.

They tend to get hairline fractures or crack under high temps. They also produce an undesired wear on brake pads.

DBA also makes those nice two-piece floating rotors, if you're into that weight saving business and stuff.
