Default Please help me pick a rotor.

I'm want to change the pads and rotors in the rear of my 2006 Roadster GT (stock Brembo) and I do not want to pay the dealer $1800 to do it.

I found some rotors online but I'm not sure which one will fit. That's where I need your expertise.

Here is the link to the all rotors I'm interested in.

The rotors suck, but I just need them installed to return the car after my lease is over.

Here is a picture of the rotor that I think will fit.


Here is a picture of the 350Z Brake specs.


I can't seem to find the in the service manual other than the diameter, which is (322mmX22mm) the bolt size or bolt hole pattern of the rear rotors with stock brembo calipers.

If you go to a Nissan site they want $400 for an OEM rotor that is more than I'm willing to pay for a car I'm returning. Pads for the rear are $100.

Please call me stupid if you feel I didn't search and provide some feedback or a link. Thanks

i guess you missed this part in the original thread

as for the rotors, those centric ones will be fine as a OEM replacement. if i am not mistaken, centric makes the blanks that some of these other companies use for their rotors (including stoptech).

Since you don't want to spend a fortune on a car you'll be returning from lease, try this site for rotors and/or pads: http://www.r1concepts.com/

I've bought their front rotors and they seem fine.

Good luck.

Thanks for reading...

Like I said I just need two blank rotors and 4 pads for the rear since I'm returning the car. The reason I want to replace the brakes is that I'm hearing this scraping or roar noise as I apply brake pressure to the rear, but only when i traveling to a complete stop.

Thanks for any info, it will help.

Looks like the hat and vanes are black. That’s a deal for $76.
