I have a 2014 base 370z I plan on doing a couple track days with this upcoming summer. I've read up on some of the required mods and plan on doing coilovers, FUCA, square wheel/tire (RE71-R), and oil cooler. However, regarding brakes, I plan on eventually going to BBK route but not planned for it this year, hoping the OEM base setup will last me. I'm switching to Yellowstuff and RBF 600, but still wondering about brake temps/fade (especially with the grippier tire). I'm considering doing the Stillen brake duct to help bring down temps but I'm wondering whether this will be effective given I have the OEM blank rotors (not slotted or drilled). I'd appreciate any input!

Thanks!

Not a huge fan of EBC yellow for track use. I use them for daily driving and they get a little warm for me on track. I'm using Gloc pads (12 front and 8 rear) and love em. I also have the stillen cooling kit for the rotors. my .02 on it

Thanks, I don't anticipate Yellow stuff to last me too long. Curious though, are you on base or sport brakes?

One of my buddies swears by his StopTech Trophy brakes... been eying that kit.

sport rotors worked well at first but i eventually had to add the stillen duct kit to help with the heat. I'm sure a nice 2 piece would help even more but the price holds me back.
