Default Coming soon Z1 2 piece 370Z Akebono front rotors, track tested.

Already installed on the Z1 370Z company car these new 2 piece rotors will be available for sale soon. The benefits of a 2 piece rotor include reduced rotating weight, better heat transfer, and as a result higher resistance to warping.

Track tested at Talledega Grand Prix and Harris Hill these rotors will be on the shelf and ready to ship soon.










Rears will be in shortly.

Those look awesome, I've been waiting for a company to come out with 2-piece slotted only rotors. I hope they are not real expensive tho.

I'm glad they have a white Z, no guesses to what the parts will look like. I hope they make the middle of the rotor black instead of red.
