I just bought a set of spl lines. It looks like i'm going to be buying new calipers so i figured I want to maximize my braking without doing the z32 upgrade. I'm looking at the some of the power slotted rotors with some super hawk pads. The pads are great from what I hear but I haven't heard anything really about the rotors. Does anyone have the rotors on the car?

The Power Slots are nice. Excellent castings, very nice Mil-Spec cad coating and minimal material removed from the rotor for the slots. If you are going to a slotted rotor, look for O.E. or better castings and steer clear of wide slots and dimples. Those are all show and not as efficient. Too much mass removed from the rotor=less brake performance. You can check them out here:

This might sound stupid but is it possible to use the z32 calipers on the stock s13 rotors? I haven't heard anyone say anything about this. just figured i would ask.
