No modern cars have drums any more. We call them Disc brakes too. The rotor is just the technical term for the disc itself.

I've heard that cross drilled can cause fatigue and crack...some of them can warp...and are more expensive

http://brakeperformance.com/brake-rotors/brake-rotors.php

But I've read they increase brake performance and last longer..if they don't warp or crack I guess

Or I can just get the OEM Parts...it's just that the z is so damn fast...additional stopping power would be good

Or maybe I'm just entering a quagmire....

And while I want to upgrade them..I need to do it soon...the pads are chirping

Improves braking? or just reduces the likelihood of brake-fade (by increasing the cooling)?

If I've got that right then do you suffer from brake-fade? if not I don't think you need them

If you do then I guess that improving the cooling would make them last longer too

Change the brakes? (Increase the number of "pots" or size of pads, and also the diameter of the discs). Dunno if that is possible for you? (or affordable!) I did that on my kit car and I have to look in the mirror before pressing the brakes hard, or the guy behind me will be in trouble!

My Father told me, many years ago, that when Disc Brakes first came out they gave you a sticker for your rear-end so that the poor guy with Drum Brakes behind you knew to keep his distance!

Let me know how they look and feel! Mine are just insane. They look great, and the car stops rather quickly, even from.. umm.. the speed limit.

Maybe not on the covers..I'll either get the originals enameled or just get new ones already enameled

All the other Fbody Reindeer are making fun of the cover people

Heh. My goat came with Red calipers from the factory. The drilled & slotted rotors make it look extra mean. I still miss my TA tho. That car had style.
