Question Question on Sport Rotors

Hey guys,

I am going to be doing an Akebono BBK upgrade on my 08 G35X sedan soon and just wanted to double check and see if this set would work as a part of what I am piecing together:
Z1 370Z / G37 Brake Upgrade Package (Sport Models)

Thanks!

Agreed- but specify the slotted rotors ONLY from Z1. Drilled rotors are known to cause stress risers in the steel rotor surface and promote cracking.

Depending how they're drilled and how they're driven. They're not gonna crack or heat up to the point to form risers if they're being daily driven.

Thanks guys! I figured, just wanted to be sure. I planned on slotted as well since I live in MN and I want to avoid as much rust as possible.

Also, I assume I shouldn't be needing the extra brake fluid they have as an option correct?
