Plenty of brake recommendations in the brake forum. A fancy rotor is 2-piece. I do not see performance advantage but it looks trick.

Don't get drilled rotors, it's overkill unless your a serious track racer or show car.

However slotted rotors are a good choice if your like most of the Z community. I've been running with Rotoro slotted rotors for about 2 years now and love them. They made a big difference in braking hard at highway speeds. More then once I have had to slam on the breaks and been thankfull for the lack of fade.

If you replace the rotors make sure you upgrade the break pads as well with some high heat Hawks pads or something. Thats the combo I use and it made a BIG difference for the way I drive. The Hawks also have a LOT less dust so the wheels stay cleaner.

+1, unlsess you take the car to the track, its a waste of money. Go with the slotted rotors for street use...

I have R1 Concepts slotted rotors on mine. Cheap, works as good as the high $$ ones, and looks great. Had them a year so far and no problems. They are made by the same company who makes the Stoptech ones so they are basically the same. Also, they are zinc coated so any part that the pad doesn't touch, won't rust.

I believe Ebay only has the drilled and slotted ones, but if you call them up direct and don't mind waiting a little longer, they will make you ones that are just slotted. Ones that are drilled sometimes crack and IMO look goofy on tiny stock brakes, so I opted out.

I recommend rotors from power slot or brembo...slotted only. drilled rotors tend to crack over time.
