Default Opinions: STILLEN or ROTORA brake rotors???

The brakes are gone... so i'm in the market for new once.

I narrowed down to HAWKS HPS PADS

but

i'm not sure which would be better rotors to go with. ROTORA slotted or STILLEN cross drilled/slotted

Any suggestions on these 2. I have a g35 coupe. I'm not planing to upgrade more then that... so any big brake kits are out of the question.

Why not the StopTech rotors. Much better deal then Stillen IMO. Best deal I've found is $410 for all four, either slotted or drilled but not both.

Neither... go with DBA or StopTech. Why are you replacing them, just for looks? There's no reason to replace your rotors unless you've developed some serious cracks...

Edit: Are you referring to the small or Brembo application?

They make very good stuff.

A lot of the Race Cars in the Procar Australia series run DBA rotors.

As well as the Shuitemaker Motorsports team in the Grand Am Cup.

http://www.350evo.com

350EVO is a dealer for DBA brakes.

Whats so special about stoptech/ why do think they are good? I know they make the big brake kits... but based on the pics on MyNismo.com of the rotors... they looked half assed. is it true or is it just me.

I'm changing the rotors...because, my bads wore out ... and rotors have some groves in them, so rather then getting them resurfaced i'm gonna get new once.
i have about 13k on the car and the crappy infiniti brakes are done for.

Vivid Racing's site has them for $420 but I contacted them about 2 items and they came back with $410 shipped.

yes i got that crap in the mail. But i dont see a point of switching crap for yet another crap. Its pointless.

thats why i rather upgrade and forget all about it.
