Z1 Motorsports: 20 lb 2 Piece Akebono Front Rotors

The Z1 Motorsports 20 lb 2-piece lightweight Akebono front rotors have been extensively torture tested on the street and the track. Over a year and a half in development and materials testing has brought us these ultra light weight rotors. Tipping the scales at a scant 20 lbs each, that's a savings of 10 lbs versus the stock 30lb each for 370Z sport rotors. These rotors have enabled us to enjoy the nimble handling and remarkable response derived from reduced unsprung weight, while allowing us to repeatedly go deep in the braking zone. They have been pushed hard on our own high-powered street cars and helped to keep our track car highly competitive.

Features include an open face design with expanding directional vane cooling. A cooling tract that is 60% wider than the factory rotors paired with the directional vane cooling has proven to perform better than any straight vane or pillar style rotors we have tested. Alloy rotor irons are heat-treated and stress relieved to deliver the best performance in all conditions. This process keeps the disc stable at extreme temperatures and reduces the effects of warping and cracking, resulting in increased rotor life and maximized performance.

Added to my wish list!

How are you taking another 3 lbs off vs lets say DBA?

What's the rotor thickness? (Each side, not the vented area)

I'm not going to lie, it's pretty awesome, right?

We design our products, test them, and put them into production. The Z1 Motorsports 2-piece lightweight Akebono front rotors have been extensively torture tested on the street and the track.

Lightweight rotor hats are machined from forged 6061 aluminum blanks, and are finished with heat treating and a premium black-hard anodizing. Fastening hardware includes heat-treated M6 slot nuts and quenched and tempered SAE Grade 10.9 bolts, larger fasteners than the majority of our competitors’ 2-piece brake rotor hardware. These heavy-duty fasteners translate to higher yield and proof strengths, especially critical in systems as crucial as braking.

We have integrated this to make a lighter rotor taking lbs off from the competition.

Please give us a call to order our BA rotors; weigh, measure, mount, and enjoy! :happydance:

I'll be getting a set to go along with my new Z1 better Stainless steel brake lines!! I'll be contacting you before Nov for my set..

Z1,

How long until a matching 2 piece rear is available?

Matching upgraded 2 piece Akebono rears rotors are in the final testing stages now. They will need more miles on the street and some hard track days. I don't have an exact ETA at the moment.

The tests were good and they are in the works.

Going to need a PM from you the moment the matching 2 piece rears are available. It'd also be nice if you can package in Z1 front 2 piece + rear 2 piece + ss brake lines discount for forum members!

Been waiting for this kind of upgrade for awhile!!

Happy Holidays!!

This is currently in the testing stages to ensure the best quality, fittment, weight, performance, and cooling. We hope to have this on the market by spring but no ETA at this time. Stay tune for more updates.

Save that money and shave that weight at the same time!
