Tracking the car? Or just for brake sex?

I had Rotora replacement rotors on my 2.5RS. They warped after two months. I drive really aggressively, but the break-in was done properly & the replacements I got afterward were leaps & bounds better. Plus half the cost. Rotora's customer service was HORRIBLE. I'd go with the K Sports for that reason Alone.

I'm lucky enough that supra brakes fit on my Mr2.

just for brake sex...haha...that is the only reason to be honest

What is wrong with Z32 calipers? I am sure they bolt right up to Altimas like they do 240s and Sentras.

OutToWinPAHC · 12-05-2010, 02:07 PM

Can you do the 350Z track rotors with the Brembos?

99showaltima · 12-09-2010, 07:03 AM

ill have to check on the 350z's

Then quality doesn't matter all that much.

Because they don't look cool.

If you want to look cool then get Project Mu or Endless
