"Racing Brakes" (that's the name of the company) sells a 2 piece rear already, has for a couple years. Look them up.

Z1's will no doubt be cheaper tho. (I have single piece DBA 4000's in the back, it'll be a long time before they're worn enough for me to justify replacing them. :-/ )

I have the Racing Brake 2 piece rotors front and rear on my Z. No problems so far. :tup: Yes they are a bit more money. When I got mine. I found marks on the rings from where they checked the hardness of them. Do the Z1 rings have a dimple mark on them?

Look at that! I don't take pics of my car, but the installer said he took a pic a week ago and sent it to me, lol

I've looked into them many times, they are local even!

And I know you have them! Lol


My issue was that they wouldn't play ball on the price AT ALL, and when I DID get someone who would give a price break, it was like $10 but I'd have to pay tax.

Also, Racing Brake may go out of business or get bought out and god knows if they will still make discs... But Z1... I HIGHLY doubt they're going anywhere. I don't think we'll let them, lol

Lol, it's not 10, but I assume Volk does this to save weight

I thought it was so the wheel would work with multiple bolt patterns?

Mayyyyyybe, but there are only 5 points that touch the hub/rotor, so I HIGHLY doubt it.

gbrettin 12-06-2013 08:51 AM

That rotor looks sexy installed.

I bought the drilled and slotted rotors. Is there a reason why people are avoiding those?

Super Werty 12-06-2013 09:10 AM

Less surface area and more prone to cracking... Not that that will happen but it is a possibility

They crack around the drilled holes. Don't track with them.

30lbs

John told me he'll try to get to the BF price for anyone I send. So tell him Andrew the ásshole sent you



( Click to show/hide )
This is 100% a lie :roflpuke2:

But I'm sure he'd work with you if you told him I sent you

Ha ha -- well, thanks, and will do :icon18:

Those are pretty significant savings to rotating mass too.

Really? Every wheel I've ever bought had two different lug patterns. Most common is 5x100 and 5x114.

Maybe, but these definitely aren't made for 2 bolt patterns. Again, the meat of the wheels only contatcs the hub/rotor in 5 places, so unless you want the pressure being applied to air, they're only meant for one lug pattern.

These yeah but odd he's never seen a dual bolt pattern before. Must not get out much.

What if you don't track the car and it's for daily driving? I really like the cross drilled and slotted look. Looks mean. Slotted looks nice too but idk I'm torn between the 2...

You'll be ok. You really have to abuse them, most likely at the track to get them so hot that they crack. I don't think 99% of street driving will do it. That 1% left over is if your daily drive is on the autobahn in stop start 150MPH traffic

Gibby1113 01-04-2014 01:22 AM

Cross drilled and slotted it is. I never track and don't plan to til my car is completely done which is years from now.
