So, as we all know, brake rotors often rust. The other day, I discovered that my father's boat trailer has STAINLESS STEEL, slotted rotors. They don't rust. Do they make something similar for the Z?

 

they make brake rotors with special coating that prevents rust.

 

they make SS ones for muscle cars, not sure of any import car ones.

 

Who makes those?

 

Most good stainless steel rotors are zinc coated to prevent rust. You can find plenty of em with our sponsors here, or eBay if you are a smart shopper who is not just buying a name to impress your friends.

 

Stainless IMO would be more show than go. There has to be a wear balance between your Rotors and Pads. Softer Rotor/Harder Pad...great combo really but you will replace a lot of rotors. Harder Rotor/Softer Pad... not as good a combo and you will go through Pads.

There has to be a balanced "Bite" between the two and Stainless offers vurtually no Bite......Its just too Hard

IMO and several Hundred Brake Jobs

 

^^^ Yeap, there's a reason that rotors are made of a soft metal.

 

gold is soft, just thought I would throw that out there for you ballers.

 

Lead is also ---But it's used for Toys

 

Okay, I should have said: soft, cheap, non-toxic metal.

 

Chinese manufactured toys for the US market...............hmmm wondering about this more than ever now.

 

Rotors really look terrible when they're all rusty. There's got to be a set out there that don't rust, and are still fairly good for performance. I'm doing research!

 

Do what most do --Paint or Powder coat the non friction surfaces. I do and it lasts for a good period of time

 

who cares if there rusty.....they match my brembos! anyway 90% goes away when you drive it! so theres another reason to drive on rainy day!!!!! i love sliding around!
