Default Confused on Brake Servicing

I have a 2006 GT 350Z (Brembo) with 33K and I can feel that they are not stopping as well. Stupid question but is it recommended to replace the rotors with the pads? I have pads but do not know which rotors to buy? I just want something like OEM because I love these brakes. Thanks for any help.

Do the rotors need to be replaced? You did measure them right?

Yes, I measured them. They are still within the tolerble range (according to the service manual) but not much life is left on them 25%. Would It be worth it to not change the rotors? What rotors would be recommended?

If your going to replace the pads and the rotors, then you might as well just buy some upgraded stoptech rotors and pads.

idk bout that. maybe if he had the non-brembos

but you could get them turned if they are not too low.
and just pick up a set of pads

you dont have to change rotors everytime you do pads

Centric bought out Stoptech so they now offer some Brembo OEM replacements under the Stoptech name. They're reasonable priced - about $100 each if I remember correctly.
