I made the trek out to Z1 Motorsports today and got their slotted and drilled rotors and some new pads put on my '07. John was great to work with, and they had some awesome rides out there. I'll post some more pics with a better camera tomorrow, but until then here are a couple I snapped with my iPhone.

Let me know what you think.











Edited to add: I'm headed out to Forged whenever my Eibach Pro Kit comes in to drop the car a bit.

 

Nice, what size are those discs???

 

I have no idea. I was told that they fit my car because I have the 18" factory wheels and that if it had the 17" wheels that they wouldn't fit. I don't know if that helps at all.

 

Hey how much did the set w/ pads run you???? You notice anything better with the sloted and drilled.....? Alot of people told me that they are easier to warp b/c of the drilled and slots..... I need new rotors and pads like tomorrow trying to do a little research on this. let me know thanks

 

Drilling does nothing performance-wise, and you risk developing cracks. This is especially true on most aftermarket rotors where the drilling is done after casting (high-end rotors have the holes pre-cast).

Slotting, OTOH, helps by allowing gas build-up to escape. Although, most performance pads no longer have gassing issues as in years past.

For the most part, and on a lot of street machines, slotting, drilling and dimpling are mostly done for aesthetics.

That said, looks good OP.

 

It was around $410 for the rotors, pads, and fluids. They feel great. I am generally not heavy on the brakes, so I'm not that worried about warping b/c of the drilled. They look really good. I had a compliment on them already in the parking lot of the Ruby Tuesday tonight. I was surprised somebody noticed, but he was driving an '07 coupe.

 

I added better pics to the original post to give you a better look.

 

They do look good.
Any idea what brand they are?
Do you have any info on them at all? $410 sounds very, very inexpensive.

 

I just went and double checked my receipt, it was $436 for the kit. It was called the Z1 Motorsports Stage 2 kit with Posi-Quiet pads. Essentially I got their $575 kit less the new brake lines and with Posi-Quiet pads instead of the Hawk pads and that dropped the price to $436.

 

Those will fit 17's. You have a journey brakes and stock calipers. The reason I say that WILL fit is due to the black plastic cover that run behind the rotor. All parts are stock but rotors and the rotors appear to be stock size as well based on the spacing between the rotor and that black plastic cover.

They look great. Thanks for posting.

 

nice rotors but pics 2,3,5 are obsolete....

 

I'm new posting on the board and thought I would add a couple of pics of the whole car and the Goodyear F1's I've put on it. Just thought I would share a couple of pics before the additional mods go on in a couple of weeks.

Also, I think the word you were looking for was "irrelevant" not "obsolete". The pictures are not obsolete seeing they were taken today.

 

Dude, they look great.
I'm just a little concerned when brake parts cost much less than I would expect.
D & S rotors are usually more dough than that. Keep us posted on these. If they hold up for you, they're a great deal.

BTW, welcome to the forum.... car looks great!

 

Oppss im sorry i guess i should have used the word irrelevant. I think the rotors look really good and was just disapointed you didnt get any better angles......i seriously thought you were taking those far away pics not knowing they didnt show inside the wheel.

nice car btw

 

Looks awesome...I want some!!
