what rotors are you guys using? and thoughts
need to replace mine so I want to get some ideas

PIC for attention

 

I had stoptech rotors and within a year they started shaking like crazy. Which may have been deposits from the pads I had. (Also stoptech). Unfortunately since they were slotted I couldnt have them resurfaced so I went back to stock. On a side note I love those headlights, any info on them or other pics?

 

You can machine slotted rotors just need to find a shop that will do it, it requires taking shallower cuts w/ more passes.

If you want a rotor for bling, the slotted stoptechs are decent, but basic Centric Premium rotors for a good blank. Centric is the parent company for Stoptech and the slotted Stoptechs are basically Centric premiums.

 

ive had stoptech slotted rotors and pads on mine for over a year now with no problems at all, seems a decent set up.

 

+1 on the Centric premium rotors I've been wishing mine would die so I could replace them with 2 piece rotors for a couple of years now...even with NDX race pads year round and track days they haven't given up or shown signs of stress

Z1 2 piece slotted only all around. I track and drive spiritedly. Daily them year round on Nismo pads and track on Hawks DTCs.

For blanks, I just look for something that has been treated and made by a reputable mfg, i.e. centric, stoptech, akebono, etc.

 

I have DBA Drilled/Slotted rotors with Hawk HPS 5.0 pads. After one year of moderately spirited driving and heavy stop-and-go traffic, the setup still performs flawlessly. No brake "judder," very little dusting, and overall a much improved feel in stopping power.

Granted this setup is overkill for a car that gets driven 1-2x a month and will never see a track, but at the outset they look good, outperform stock (IMO), and will definitely stop the car on a dime.

Just my input...

 

Centric.

 

Z1 2pc. Even if you're not utilizing the greater heat dissipation, you will feel the weight savings (rotational, unsprung mass).

Other than that, just get the blanks/slotted/drilled/whatever listed above.

 

Stoptech cryo slotted. Many years/miles on these on multiple cars and never machined and no judder. I personally swear by them.

 

centric premiums on the rear. still OEMs on the front. very happy with the centrics so far, 3 years on.

 

I just went with stock rotors

 

Centric owns stoptech PowerStop powerslot. PowerStop sells a complete kit 4 rotors slotted and cross drilled with pads shims guide pins and anncilary parts for 400 bucks
