Z1 vs adams rotors vs stop tech

I chose my pads "project mu"
Now i cant choose rotors. I read good things about adams rotors, but the company is fairly new

Someone recommended stop tech but have read they warped on a few people

Now i found out about z1 bbk . 400 got all rotors .
How much of an upgrade is it? Is z1 worth it? I have an 03 with brembo and my rears are gone so i need to decide quick .

Not for nothing but I'm asking peoples opinions and you chiming in like that is gonna stop certian people from giving them. You could have sent me a private message, and as you see i sent you one yesterday cause i was leaning toward your rotors. What you just did is kind of corny and 9 years is new when it comes to these things. Just like Kia would be considered pretty new..

Anyways can you guys give your opinions on what rotors i should get. Its a daily driver, using project mu pads. Just looking for something thats gonna perform well with those pads and a brembo caliper .

I switched to DBA rotors about 30k miles ago and wouldn't use anything else! Pad life has increased, they don't warp and stop on a dime even during/after aggressive driving. Several vendors sell them on our Marketplace under vendor brakes! Oh yea, they look cool too...Gary
(most rotor warping is caused by some jackwad being aggressive with a impact gun...fact)

ask away, that totally understandable.
but stop certain people? a PM to a public post? what I just did? corny?
...what the heck are you talking about man?

I'm a forum member, user, and vendor here and I saw a thread mentioning our company and chimed in with an honest answer.
it sounded misinformed so I explained it and added a link; a gesture to look more into us for yourself.

to say we are "new" is almost an insult for a small, thriving business who's nearly been around a decade, building this business to what it's become, with the ability to support this very forum you're using.
what's "not new" exactly, a quarter century? it was an odd comment in the OP with a perfectly fine response on our end...and your reply now has me even more confused.

be well, and goodluck with your rotor selection.

Go to our Marketplace under vendor brakes and check out the DBA rotors. We can recommend what works for us but you need to do the research!

From what I've read Adams is the bomb .com but I can't afford them or Id be using the products they offer. However I just read the reviews from other members, and didn't actually install them

I'm hearing good things about adams, just read the same about dba. My question now is will project pads and either of these rotors match the oem 60-0 113 feet stopping distance?

Coming from OC autosports rotors, I just purchased Adams rotors about 3 months ago. Could not be happier with the craftsmanship, performance, and service (and I'm picky when it comes to car parts). When I took them to my local tuner/mechanic to have them installed, he even commented on them that they were really nice and a notch above what he typically sees. I havent had any experience with Stoptech, but you can't go wrong with AR.

You spent the money on a good set of pads, and Adams rotors are a great quality 2 piece. Z1 is nice (also new) and Stoptech set the standard for affordable quality braking systems. People reference them when talking brake tech because their research is backed by facts and quality tests.

They are all great choices and it really comes down to personal choice. You get quality stopping, but what looks best with your system?

Good point urban... I went with adams slotted and drilled with a black coat. Thats gonna look good since I'm painting the calipers red.

Would replacing the brake lines and brake fluid make for even better performance? If so what brand fluid ?

Street use you won't notice a difference. Track use where you use enough braking to swell the stock lines, which will require a higher temp for fluid and stainless line upgrade.
