Road and Track tested the 370z base from 70mph n 161 feet. Then they recorded 163 feet from 70 with the sport brakes. We would still rather have the bigger brake package from the sport right? I think the thing is. I find it very difficult to accept the statement that there are no benefits to slotted or drilled rotors. I believe it's more of a cost to consumer issue for most manufactures. And okay, the aftermarket being what it is there is a Ton of hype on brake rotors. But still.
I'm just saying.
Interesting - 2ft longer stopping with the sport brakes? How is that possible? The only thing I can think of is higher weight in the rotors, wheels and tires...
