I haven't tracked my car, but I would like to someday. I need some basic upgrades before that can happen, brake rotors being one. For a DD, the Z1 cross drilled and slotted would be fine, but I asked about the chamfer just in case I do get it on the track, which would be light duty anyhow. However, I went with the EBC USR slotted rotors for the bonus wet performance safety factor, since I encounter rain way more than the track despite the fact that we are in a several year long drought :(

I do believe the Z1 CD/S rotors are chamfered. But I will go outside tomorrow and double check for you so I'm not giving you bad info. :tup:

:iagree: as well. I went with CD/S for aesthetics vs pure racecar. I figure they will suffice until I'm ready for this car to be dedicated race car, then I will look at the DBA5k/4k sets.

If you're not racing a Z then the looks are most likely important. I will be getting cross drilled rotors. Should be fine for regular/somewhat spirited driving.

They have been for me:

20k mi so far, no wear marks, no cracking visible.

They've endured:

Several spirited runs
ZDayZ (Dragon/Hellbender/Cherahala)
Heavy Rains with no fading

Originally with PosiQuiet pads from Z1, switched to Ferodo DS2500's in May.

Jarblue, you know that the vibrations that you feel are typically from the brake pad compound and by resurfacing the rotors, it should make it not vibrate anymore. Are you saying that you used the Hawk Ceramic Pads and got it vibration?

Yes, I am aware that "warped rotors" are typically the result of uneven pad depositing on the rotor surface and that resurfacing or "turning" the rotors can prolong their life. The vibration I was getting was from stock rotors and stock pads, and since they were already at 35K miles, I decided to replace both rotors and pads in the front. I had already decided to go with the Hawk pads because I have used them on a previous car with good results. I ended up getting the EBC USR slotted rotors and swapped out the stock fluid for ATE SuperBlue. I did this all last Tuesday and had the amazing opportunity to drive it on the Circuit of the Americas track this past weekend. The braking performance on my Z was excellent :tup:

Just making sure since a lot of people have a misconception of a warped rotor :tup:

:tiphat:

Nice to hear!! I just might mimic your set up next year when the brakes will be due!

This is true but don't underestimate peoples need to spend money on their car for no good reason. :icon17:

:bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl:

Yup! I knew I could get the rotors turned for <$50, and the pads were only half worn. And a friend gave me the brake fluid. What did I do instead? Spend $400+ to replace front rotors and pads :rofl2:

But I still think it was a good reason... safety features likes brakes are almost always a good reason to spend money :tup:

Haha. I never understand why people bother resurfacing rotors. They never last as long as fresh new rotors and find it a waste of money.
