Do you have two piece rotors available for the Track model? If not, when?

Thanks

OK, here's some questions.

What brake pads do you recommend for agressive street driving?
What brake fluid do you recommend for agressive street driving?
What brake rotors do you recommend for agressive street driving?
What brake lines do you recommend?

These are all for the Track (Brembo-equipped) trim.

OK.... I see there are three resellers listed in the US. Is there another way to get the DBA 5600 rotors in the US? Can we order direct from you?

Thanks,

PeteH

Hey, I may be wrong here, but in your "Touring + Z roadster" catagory, shouldn't it fit more than that? The brakes from Basic/Peformance/Enth/Touring are all the same.


Unless whell clearence is a problem but not likely because the calipers are still the same.

I haven't looked at the page and can't seem to access it ATM but I'd say the listing is limited because here we only have the Touring and Track models. They should fit the similar model brakes you have over there.

Goodridge lines question for Steve or John. Are they street legal as far as NSW RTA are concerned?

If you want our great DBA 350Z rotors, for Touring and Track models, Stillen Brake Pros are our USA distributors.
Any problems, please let me know.

Cheers,

Same question except for the Touring Model Z without brembos.

I haven't finished the 5000 series design for the touring model so the 4000 series is the only performance choice for now, preferably with Ferodo DS2500's for the touring rotors as they perform well with the extra heat.
Motul fluid and Goodridge lines as per the track version.

Goodridge lines has FMVSS 106 approval which is recognised by DOTARs (Aust design rules). So yes they are legal.
