The aero rotors are cheaper than the DBA's so i just wanted to see if the DBA's were worth the extra??

aye, I know, but I cant afford either DBA's arent as widely known so thats probably why Stoptech is getting more votes. Stoptech does have more racing experience though :/

Power Slot slotted and cryo treated from Tire Rack. I have them on the front of my Z, with Hawk HPS pads, and have no complaints. MUCH less dust than OEM but comparable stopping power (as far as I can judge).

At the moment guys i can afford a BBK and i dont think i will see the advantage of a BBK over a good pad and rotor upgrade for the amount of track/fast street abuse i do!

Im still thinking the stoptechs tho!!!

I would recommend the Autogear Aero-Cool Big Brake Kit. My dad has a 16 inch BBK on his Escalade. They stop really quickly and look awesome!

Here's a kit on a G35:

Yeah, the owner of the car already had AP Racing calipers, so he didn't want to spend money to replace them. So he put on only the rotors

I've spent time with both Aerorotors and DBA - it's a toss up in terms of quality, both are great units, affordable for what they are, have affordable replacement parts, and will work with a wide variety of pads
