At just about 19 lbs. each, these are the only light weight full floating rotors on the market for these brakes, and also the only two piece rotors available (at all) for the front and rear that are designed to work in conjunction with the 370Z/ G37s as well as other cars that have the front caliper adapters and are fitted with these popular Akebono brake kits.
These RA two piece rotors are made 100% here in the USA with the highest grade of materials available. No corners were cut when designing everything from the heat treated & tempered, balanced & stress relieved, gas vented (slotted), full floating, directionally & rotational pillar veined cast iron/ steel allow blend of the outer rotor, to the hard anodized, aircraft grade CNC machined aluminum center hats with aircraft grade full floating T-Locks & fasteners.
Sure, we could have cut many corners on material & design time to save a little money, but there should be no compromising when it comes to your brake kit. These rotors are the perfect complement to the Nissan equipped Akebono calipers.
Remember, brakes are one of the most significant and often overlooked high performance and safety modifications you can make to your car.
The RA two piece rotor system has SEVERAL advantages over any other rotors available today for this brake kit.
--Light weight rotors will shed SEVERAL pounds of detrimental un-sprung
and rotational weight mass, making the car MUCH more responsive.
--With the self centering, full floating rotor design, it lets the rotor expand
and contract due to heat in a uniformly manner. This way there is much less
probability of the rotors
warping, distorting, cracking, or failing due to the rotors movement during its heat cycles
--Rotors are not only gas vented for more even pad wear, but have rotational & directional
pillar veins that drastically reduce brake heat and brake fade up to 20%.
With less heat from the rotor traveling through the rotor hat and into the
hub bearings, it will increase your wheel bearing life
--You can maximize your long-term investment as the cost of replacing the
rotors when the time comes goes down significantly by only needing to
replace the outer friction surface instead of the whole rotor…. since the
center (hat) is reusable.
