Default Need Help:StopTechstage 2 or R1 Concept. Non/brembo

well I have a 07 350Z(non/brembo) with 11,000 miles on it so far. The problem is that i want to buy the StopTech stage 2 but I saw R1 Concepts..and since my car still has low miles on the brake lines and pads are still kinda new. Should i just buy R1 Concepts Four crossed drilled rotors only. for around $300 or should i go all out for the stoptech stage 2. I'm not going to be taking my car to the auto x or anything of that nature but only Daily driving but i just want a bit more stopping power.

If anybody has bought the R1 Concepts rotors can you plz tell me how the quality of the rotors are because i read a thread awhile back and somebody bought the rotors and had rust on them at only 5,000 miles after installing them.
If i buy the black hat rotors would they prevent rust or something?

Please can anybody give me there opinion?

thank you
(and yes i searched the whole afternoon)

Get the stoptech kit. It's almost useless to get just the R1 rotors as "upgrades".

Yes, the black hat on the Stoptech rotors prevent dust.

Why do you need to upgrade anyways, if you're not planning to track/autox the z? it's a waste of money dude. oem brakes are good enough for daily driving IMO.

keep the oem parts as spares.
