ive been interested, I really wanna upgrade my sport package rotors & pads. I priced out the stoptechs & I could get all 4 slotted rotors for alil over $400, if you could beat that price, Im all in. Plus I need a good brake pad recommendation for the street. PM me if you'd like...Thanks

Ah ... they're not going to be cheaper then Stoptech, the Stoptech rotors for $400 are 1-piece (no weight savings) not 2-piece like these.

Well I guess you were right about it being alot more for the 2 piece slotted rotors, I found a third opition for slotted rotors: RacingBrake Two-Piece Rear Rotor Slotted Nissan 370Z Sport 2009 I really hope that is for 2 rotors, lol

You don't want a full floating 2-piece rotor anyway, just a maintainence headache with no benefit unless you spend 90% of your time at the track. Go with a fixed 2-piece like you found below. You won't save quite as much weight on the rears as the front as most use an iron hat in the rear to support the e-brake function.

would somone please explain the difference? I know what a floating caliper is, where it compresses with one piston, and pulls the opposite pad towards the rotor, but what the hell is a floating rotor? A rotor you can mount flip on the rotor hat if need be?

With a fixed or a solid mounted rotor, there is no room for the expanding and contracting movements that the rotor will go through during its heating up and cooling down cycles. Because of this a non-floating or fix mounted rotor is prone to warping much easier than a floating rotor. Floating rotors usually last a little longer as well because of this.

me too, both front and rear to save on unsprung mass. I personally have no use for racing calipers nor can I afford a BBK.
Wasn't Stillen planning on releasing a 2-piece rotor sometime? PS: I hope the rear hat is made from aluminum. |

Yes, we offer both the front AND rear light weight two piece rotors as a package, or even just the rears or just the fronts separately a well.... ...And yes, our front AND rear rotor hats are both made of aircraft grade forged billet aluminum |
