I have a stock brembo kit that needs servicing pretty soon, and I was wondering if I would be best off with aftermarket rotors and pads or if the stock equipment will serve me best. I was thinking about going with stoptech slotted rotors (or would cross drilled be better?), although I don't know what pads to go with.

 

aftermarket ftw! rotors stoptech or rotora pads project mu or endless

 

Not sure where you might find opinions and critiques about brake pads and rotors. Good luck.

 

2 Piece rotors FTW, plenty of people make them like DBA and racingbrake.

 

How would that help me out? I am kind of confused about aftermarket rotors as in weather they will wear out faster, or simply perform better.

Also what is difference between how slotted and cross drilled rotors perform with the 350z?

 

I just installed mine yesterday, took about 4 hours (all four corners). Stoptech slotted OEM replacements and Project Mu street pads. Thanks Andy at PERFORMANCE NISSAN for the parts. The braking is instant and snappy after I bedded brakes (just like when I drove it off the lot).

Metro Infiniti quoted me $1495 plus tax for ONLY THE REAR pads and rotors plus install. So I decided to do the install myself for the whole car.

 

personally i think the brembo rotors are more than sufficient for anything but hardcore track days.

When my pads were worn out....i just bought a tried and true set of Hawk HPS and love them. They bite good with little dust.

 

When mine needed changing, I went with stoptech blanks (got one hell of a deal) and Nismo pads. Stay away from dealer replacements, they will charge you an arm and a leg. I've been satisfied and very little dust!
