Default Brake Rotor Info.

Looking at replacing my OEM rotors with these cross slotted drilled rotors. This is suppose to be a plug and play installation for 4 rotors at $200.

Does anyone have any advice before I pull the trigger on this purchase

One friendly advise -- do a search on "drilled rotors" in this forum. Problems with cracking. Most members are going with slotted rotors. Good price though.

Check eBay for rotor 350Z. You will find a dozen sellers.

Here is my deal:

$260 for 4 Drilled and slotted rotors and 4 extended life pads including shipping cost. They also offer group discounts as well. I feel this is a high quality rotor for the price and I also found the ebay prices were higher than buying directly from Rotor Pro’s (972-276-5858 Juan Vasquez). Their ebay rating is 99.6 positive on service and parts they sell.

Thank for all the Help!

Got them on!

I weighed all four rotors when they arrived 61.5 lbs. OEM rotors weighed 56.5 lbs a 5 lb difference. Thought the drilled slotted rotors would weigh less to my surprise that was not the case. So far I am pleased with look and fit, and quality. There is a better braking feel and the pads they provided appear to be low dust (no black wheels) and quiet at this point. Will keep you updated after a few more months of driving.

i wonder if the weight diffrence is because your comparing a used rotor to a new one. you should reweigh the rotor you just installed when it gets worn out and compare the numbers again.
