Torrance, California USA -- StopTech announces the release of the Nissan 350Z AeroRotor® Direct Replacement Kit (DRK), which brings race-winning technology to the street as a simple to bolt-on replacement rotor that fits the stock caliper.

The two-piece, floating 350Z AeroRotor® DRKs offer a wide variety of benefits over the stock rotors including a weight-savings of more than 10 lbs, resistance to coning and cooler operating temperatures.

With the use of the AeroRotor® and a billet aluminum AeroHat™, the unsprung weight is decreased, therefore improving the overall handling and braking of the vehicle. The same combination also resists coning in high temperature environments. The patented AeroRotor® vane design creates improved induced airflow and the cooler operating temperatures result in longer pad life, longer rotor life and reduced brake fade.

The AeroRotor® DRK is 2.5 pounds lighter per front rotor assembly and more than 2.75 pounds lighter per rear rotor than the stock rotors, creating a total reduction of 10.5 lbs total weight savings versus the stock rotors.

Retail prices for the 350Z AeroRotor® DRKs are:
Slotted-Front Pair $584.00
Slotted-Rear Pair $736.00
Drilled-Front Pair $684.00
Drilled-Rear Pair $836.00

Retail prices for the 350Z AeroRotor® Friction Rings with hat mounting kits included are:
Front, Plain or Slotted - $165.00 each
Rear, Plain or Slotted- $145.00 each
Front, Drilled - $225.00 each
Rear, Drilled - $205.00 each

The 350Z AeroRotor® DRK made its on track debut with the Grand-Am Series Unitech Racing 350Z and produced the first North American professional series win for the Nissan 350Z at the Grand-Am Cup Series Mid-Ohio 250.

“We contribute 50 percent of our win to the StopTech AeroRotors®,” said Jackson Stewart, owner of the Unitech Racing Team. “We could not believe that rotors could make such a difference.”

Once the AeroRotor® DRK was mounted the lap times dropped immediately, allowing the #33 car to clock its fastest time of the race weekend. The drivers found they could brake deeper in turns and gained a .5 second per lap advantage with the StopTech rotors.
