Default Rotora or StopTech Slotted Rotors??

They both look identical to my eyes. What makes the Rotora rotors better since they cost about 80 bucks more?

more expensive items don't necessarily mean they are better.

rotoras are more because they are drilled AND slotted...stoptech is either or...they dont come in drilled and slotted...and from everyone that i have talked to has told me that just the regular slotted rotors are the best....and also both rotors are stock size...

Rotora is expensive as hell. I think a 4 piston big brake kit will set u back $4k for just the front. As for the rotors, you are probably just paying for the name. I ordered some stoptechs that I will be puttin on soon.

Rotora four piston fronts are only $1665.

You might be thinking Endless or Project Mu for $4000.

Why stop there. Look in the classified section for even better deals.

Evolution has a special going on right now on OEM size performance rotors.

https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....threadid=89558

We also have 13" big brake kits for under $1400 and less than $2800 for a full 13" 4 wheel upgrade.
