Replacing 370Z Rotors

seizer8

If you're not racing a Z then the looks are most likely important. I will be getting cross drilled rotors. Should be fine for regular/somewhat spirited driving.

They have been for me:

20k mi so far, no wear marks, no cracking visible.

They've endured:

Several spirited runs
ZDayZ (Dragon/Hellbender/Cherahala)
Heavy Rains with no fading

Originally with PosiQuiet pads from Z1, switched to Ferodo DS2500's in May.

Jarblue, you know that the vibrations that you feel are typically from the brake pad compound and by resurfacing the rotors, it should make it not vibrate anymore. Are you saying that you used the Hawk Ceramic Pads and got it vibration?

Yes, I am aware that "warped rotors" are typically the result of uneven pad depositing on the rotor surface and that resurfacing or "turning" the rotors can prolong their life. The vibration I was getting was from stock rotors and stock pads, and since they were already at 35K miles, I decided to replace both rotors and pads in the front. I had already decided to go with the Hawk pads because I have used them on a previous car with good results. I ended up getting the EBC USR slotted rotors and swapped out the stock fluid for ATE SuperBlue. I did this all last Tuesday and had the amazing opportunity to drive it on the Circuit of the Americas track this past weekend. The braking performance on my Z was excellent

Just making sure since a lot of people have a misconception of a warped rotor

Yup! I knew I could get the rotors turned for <$50, and the pads were only half worn. And a friend gave me the brake fluid. What did I do instead? Spend $400+ to replace front rotors and pads

But I still think it was a good reason... safety features likes brakes are almost always a good reason to spend money
