Default Stock Front Brake Replacements

My father has a 2003 350Z. Not sure of the trim but has HID's and leather interior.

Can anyone recommend replacement rotors and brake pads?

Dealership is charging $575. We can do the install ourselves, just trying to find good replacement parts. Or should we just get Nissan OEM?

i got the raybestos, from kragen, non-brembo, ok rotors, only down side is the rust, make sure whatever rotors u get have the anti-rust coating. the raybestos bout $70 for both. I think I got the raybestos pads also, no problems except for the rust on the center of the rotor.

If you are happy with the life of the OEM rotors, stick with the OEM rotors. For limiting brake dust, you can certainly do better than OEM pads. Suggestions? The entire forum is filled with suggestions.

do a stoptech stage 2 upgrade. Pads, rotors, SS lines, fluid for the same price as what you were quoted from Nissan, and a lot better braking.
