I recently tore a chunk out of the stock skid plate and as I was replacing it I noticed my brake rotor was bent a tad. I've been searching a little while on the net for a new rotor but haven't really run into much. So far the one that sounds about the best to me is the Wave Brake Rotor from Alba for $139. Does anyone out there have an opinion on this rotor or any another rotor out there for that matter? I just want to know what my options are before I sink my money into something. Thanks!

 

I put a magnum Stainless steel vented rotor on, it was $70. While your at it order up a PRM swingarm skid before you do it again!

 

I put a Speed vented and scalloped rear rotor and a UM aluminum skidplate on my Z. Got them both from Magic Racing. Good folks to deal with.

 

I replaced the stock skid with a DG plate. That should keep me from having the same problem. Does the vented rotor help with squeaking problem? I heard that would solve the squeaking problems the Z's have. Before I bent the rotor, the rear brake was squeaking pretty bad…but now I have bigger problems [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img].

Bobcat, have you done a lot business with Magic Racing? Are they pretty reliable?

 

The vented rotor fixed my squeek, it hasn't made a peep since the new rotor was installed. I bought all the stuff for my Z from Magic except the Ourys. No problems at all. Great people to work with!

 

Magic is a good company to deal with but Im sorry to say that your DG skidplate was probably not your best choice. It should hold up for a while but next time get one that is 1/4" thick like PRM, Armadillo or ProArmor. If you have a little extra sending money Pro-Tect is Stainless Steel and should outlast all of them.

 

Did you have a DG or know someone who does? Did it not hold up?
