Jack_280Z Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I want to change my old front rotors on my 280Z and buy new 280ZX rear rotors. On my 280Z: The front calipers are a four piston from Toyota (S12) with standard rusted front 280Z rotor. The rear calipers come from a 280ZX 82-83 with standard rusted rear 280ZX rotor. I look for Slotted Brake Rotors with a protective rust. For the moment I found ROTORA sold by horsepowerfreaks.com. Is this a good product? Are there other product and seller to recommend? Thank Jack, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipping was fast and everything was well packaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_280Z Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 Thanks, Yes, they have 280ZX rotors . They are cheaper than ROTORA. I will look for shipping... Jack, ___________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceVance Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) Here's a picture of the front rotor (4x4 non- vented), please excuse the poor quality camera phone pic... Edited January 20, 2011 by LanceVance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_280Z Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 Nice. I like the look. Yesterday, I bought the rotors from r1concepts. I should receive them next week. Thank you again the contact. Jack! __________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_280Z Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 I received the rotors : They look nice. I am happy... Now, I look forward for winter to finish for install my new brakes (my shed don't have heater and -23° this weekend)... Jack _______ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280Z76LS2 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 nice but why not drilled !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_280Z Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 nice but why not drilled !! The rotors are small and they are plain (no air inside). So I do not think the holes are useful. I prefer to have maximum contact with the pad. Jack ________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticky280zx Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 drilled will also eat through pads faster, if you actually look around at the brake threads you will find all of this info rather easily. Most people get the drilled just for the "looks" then realize unless they have a racecar or one that does some MAJOR braking, they just wasted their money and will be sooner on pads.

I practically own stock with my brake pad companies! But it looks damn good! My Z is for me to do all the impractical things that would ruin a DD... so I don't mind.
