Hey guys.

I gotta replace my pads and rotors again. OEM's are pissing me off - this is the second time the OEM parts are dying after 20K. Either the OEM breaks suck, or they're not designed for city driving.

Anyway.

My 2005 non-brembo Z is my main ride, I spend lots of time in traffic; I'm looking for good, street, replacement pads and rotors.

What would you guys recommend? I'm not going for looks, just functionality - i.e. I don't need slotted/drilled (they are great for track, yes, but most ofmy life I spend in Seattle traffic).

Are these a good option? http://store.r1concepts.com/Items/bo...m%20pkg%20194?

Is there something better (maybe cheaper?).

Thanks!

hey....you are going to be fine with those. i paid only 170 for their non premium set. i ordered the pads(Satisfied/very low dust/no squeaking) from tirerack..less than 50 bucks.

By non-premium, you mean these, right? Also, which pads did you buy from tirerack?

You should outta be good with the rotors from r1, I am running em with Hawk HKS pads, stainless steel brake lines & dot 4 brake fluid. They make a hell of a difference, don't let the "Z snobs" give you crap, cause they bought names to impress the other "Z snobs."

yup... i paid too much earlier this year. They are even cheaper today.
i bought tirerack Satisfied pads/canadian.
