Question Stoptech 2 Piece AeroRotor Kit Question

Well it is time for me to change my Brembo rotors and I have been thinking about these. Stoptech 2 Piece AeroRotor Kit. I autoX once a while. So far on the track I don't have any issue with my brake fading (yet). I want to make sure that these won't be an overkill or it may help me out for the future if I do suffer with fading. I was thinking of going with 2pc front and regular slotted for the rear.

Would you guys recommend these or just get standard slotted all around?

Yes, for autocross they'd be overkill. Even for track days unless you're doing some serious racing.

Once thing to consider wrt autocrossing, those type of rotors bump you out of the stock class.

I had the same question. I was considering getting them for my 03 Z. My last two visits to the track, I warped the front rotors each time (not a Z).

I was wondering if the more efficient cooling would help avoid replacing rotors so frequently. Unfortunarely, the aero-rotors are VERY expensive though.

I think slotted rotors, stainless steel braided brake lines, new pads, and some Motul brake fluid would be a better investment. You could probably get all of this for less than the cost of those AeroRotor's.

If you track the car on OEM Brembo's, buy them. If not, waste of $$$, but they look good.

Thanks everyone. FYI I do have steel braided lines and Motul fluid. I think I am going to go for the one piece. The price difference is a lot and I am trying to watch my budget but I really do need to replace my rotors. Thanks again everyone for your help!!!

Well, I went ahead and ordered the Stoptech Aero-rotors today (- Paul at Advanced Racing Technology gave me a really good deal).
Hope it turns out to be a good investment.

Yep, four hours away from where I live. Used my CLK500 for HPDE's there in 2008, but just bought an 03 350Z to use as a dedicated track car.
