370z Nismo Rotors

Solid rotors are better than cross drilled and vented; this is why they are on the Nismo. With modern pads, you don't need cross drilled or vents...

Thats why all modern race cars still use slotted rotors right? What does ferrari know, idiots still living in the 20th century...Nissan clearly knows better...or could it be that they are cheaper to manufacture/buy?

Slotted/cross-drill rotors can't be turned/re-surfaced. Current brake pads don't glaze rotors as much as in the older ones. IMHO, it is best to get a lighter two-piece rotors, add DOT 4 brake fluid, add better brake pads and install SS brake lines to your 370Z with sport package. This will reduce the unsprung weight and keep the brake pedal from bottoming out at track outings.
