Also any brake pad suggestions? I don't plan on taking it to the track, something that doesn't make alot of noise when stopping & won't kick up alot of brake dust either.

Dang I didn't know rotors lasted that long, I thought you had to replace them at a certain number of miles. What do you mean by "can't be resurfaced"? I don't mind trying them (Ebc Red) as long as they are better then stock & are a good brand since I've never heard of them.

Best to get some street pad advice from someone that's tried them in these cars or a 350.
Rotors last a long time in street driving conditions. The only reason to replace them is if they warp, crack, or scour. You can get at least 1 resurfacing out of the stock rotors if necessary. Resurfacing refers to removing the surface layer of metal from the face of the rotor using a brake lathe. This is only necessary if the rotors are scored (grooving). |
EPIC REVIVAL:
I was at Z1 today to get my car tuned (302 whp) and one of the guys pointed to a 2-piece rotor sitting on the counter. YUP IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!!!! He explained to me how the curved vanes are a better design than the DBA kangaroo paws for cooling and weight. And that replacements would cost in the 400's. They are still working on 2 piece rears, since it's been difficult because our rears are so thin. This is 6 lbs lighter than DBA, 2 lbs lighter than CZP. I think I'll be going for these next summer :) $650 Z1 2 Piece Akebono Front Rotors |
Yep, I actually purchased these last night DarkJak. Waiting on them to come in now.
To tie in with what some others said the only company i know who does 2 piece rears for Sport breaks is Relentless Autosports but they require you to put a spacer in your rear caliper....that and i personally dont like the company.....but to be fair others have had great results. |
I'm running the Racing Brake 2 piece rotors. Front and rear. ;)

Is the price for the front set or per rotor?
|
Which set of rotors you talking about?
|
The new 2 piece rotors.
|
The Racing Brake fronts.
Two-piece rotor (Open Slot) - 370Z (Sport) FRONT 2009 The rears. Two-piece rotor (Open Slot) - 370Z (Sport) REAR 09-11 Not cheap. But you get what you paid for. I would PM them for pricing though. |
Yea I'm waiting on Z1's rear rotors.

I follow a lot of what Z1 does and know there's a lot of real track testing that is done.
