they are out???? I was told by stoptech around the first week of april? I needed rotors by mid april for track days and I didn't want to take the chance.

Could have saved some money, but today I got my stoptech 2piece DRK and
I am happy but broke

on the other hand if I need some rear rotors I know they are ready

Performance Nissan is awesome!

Looking Good!

Personally, I thing the slotted are the best choice. Drilled do not look so hot after a while.

Are those rotors 13" or 14"

What kind of calipers do you have?

Stock for now,non-brembo, wanted to get this stuff done first cheaper and easier to do, those will come in time

Edit: I didnt upgrade the size, just swapped out OEM size, I dont do enough racing to benefit from a BBK, plus still sittin on stock 17's

Thumbs up jcn30127

The rotors are direct replacements for stock rotors so no relocation or anything just bolt on and go.

Kit installed! Love the appearance, subtle but nice... braking power noticably improved, still breaking in new pads. One minor problem, the front brake line kit was wrong or something cause the said I needed more lines or longer lines or something, so I'll have to talk to performance on that, rear lines went on easy. Had mine done at Firestone if anyone was curious.

Default Update

Jason @ Perf, confirmed part numbers, I was sent the wrong one by mistake, currently emailed Performance, asking what to do next. Hopefully wont have to pay anything, I know I clicked and payed for the Z brake lines.

Edit: Just got off the phone with Jason, coincidently enough he just happened to pick up, he is in the process of sending out the correct ones with tracking number and return label for the other one... Thanx Jason!!
