Nissan 350Z 1-Piece Sport Rotors

Braking performance is one of the more underrated aspects of high end vehicle performance, and is one of the best ways to allow yourself to go much faster. These 1-Piece Sport Rotors are a fantastic braking upgrade for any Nissan 350Z using OEM Calipers, and will surely help with braking longevity, stopping power, and performance. These high-performance upgrades directly replace those plain OE factory rotors with no modification required. Applications for the Nissan 350Z are finished with a clear zinc plating for exceptional corrosion resistance.

Note: These rotors are for use with the OEM Calipers, and do not fit the OEM Track Brembo Calipers.

For these rotors high-quality, 1-piece blanks are sourced from the world’s best foundries. Each application is carefully scrutinized for the optimum face pattern, whether cross-drilled, slotted or both. The latest CAD (Computer-Aided Design) tools are used to optimize the face pattern for full pad sweep to reduce hot spots and grooving.

All holes are radius-chamfered with special tooling to minimize stress-raisers for maximum resistance to heat and longer rotor life compared to lower-priced offerings. Slots are ramped to reduce pad dust retention and noise. These Sport Rotors arrive finished, machine-balanced and ready to install on your Nissan 350Z!

Why cross-drilled or slotted (or both)?
Cross-drilled rotors are a quick and simple way to improve initial pad bite. With the additional leading edges at each hole, the pad is able to grab the rotor just a little bit harder when it’s time to stop NOW! Tests have shown (and drivers can feel) the immediate improvement. The holes also provide better cooling under hard use. Pad wear may be accelerated slightly (depending on driving technique), so only high quality brake pads should be considered. Cross-drilled rotors are not recommended for track duty – choose slotted rotors instead.

Slotted rotors provide some of the increased pad bite that cross-drilled rotors do, but can handle the heat of more aggressive use. The slots act as a wiper, cleaning the pad face as they go by to reduce pad glazing, keeping the pads fresh for optimal performance. If taking the car often to track days or where very spirited driving is the norm, slotted rotors are the smart choice.

Cross-drilled and slotted rotors combine the best of both. Fewer holes mean longer pad life with little penalty in the way of initial pad bite. These are popular, aggressive-looking patterns that look great behind those custom wheels.
