Ive seen a few deals out there on Rotora 6p Front / 4p rear with 2 piece floating rotors for about the same.
Im using the car for AutoX and Time Attack(entry level) and i just wanted someone to weigh in on this.
Thanks!

My response might be viewed as a bit biased, but if you are serious about Time Attack, you might find that investing a bit more up front for the long haul is a better decision. The AP Racing systems currently available (there are several options for the 370Z) are
significantly better than anything else mentioned in this thread thus far. The "extra" money spent might actually be an investment that won't need to be repeated later, something that can't always be said when pushing unproven equipment hard.
Don't let the specs on a sheet confuse you. A lot of companies can go to cheap sources for 4/6/8/??? piston calipers and 15" cheap iron rotors. Very few companies stake their entire reputation on engineering and performance. AP Racing is a globally recognized leader in that group for a large number of reasons.
Something to think about...

P.S. Did you know that the fastest production car in the world, the Bugatti Veryon Super Sport that just ran 268mph, uses AP Racing brakes as standard equipment?
