Race cars use floating rotors for several reasons, all of them related to extremely high temperatures, very high speeds and extreme cornering loads. On the street, floating rotors are helpful in certain applications, but not most of them.

For the Z, floating makes very little sense. Most people don't plan on maintaining their floating rotors by cleaning the bobbins every so often (which requires new attachment hardware). Also, they can cause some noise even with float springs in place, like the factory rotors on the R35 GT-R.

Would a high-quality 2-piece non-floating rotor assembly do the job? Certainly!

Would Z owners be willing to buy a proper fixed 2-piece version (not one using a cheesy low-cost rotor ring) over a more expensive "full-floating" version? Let me hear what you all have to say!

Yes, but from what I'm aware, you aren't selling one, correct?

Just gathering input from the crowd. There are some options in the works, but they probably won't all make it to production. Feedback is important at this stage before as final decisions need to be made soon.

Interesting posts in here, and interest in Akebono two piece rotors.

A quality front AND REAR two piece rotor kit will be available very soon...

Endgame · 04-01-2010, 08:19 PM

Is there a website we can go to look at??

Scott @ RA · 04-01-2010, 09:22 PM

We have a solution that addresses all four (front and rear) 2 piece light weight rotors, heat treated, full floating, gas vented (slotted), directionally and rotationally pillar veined, with aircraft grade billlet aluminum rotor hats. Nothing but the best quality, the complete kit is also 100% made here by us in America, and rigorously street and track tested..

Let me know if anyone is interested....
