Default Where is the best/cheapest place to buy new pads/rotors?

I searched around for a while but couldn't find anything. Just looking for the cheapest place to get new pads and rotors for my 2005 350z touring. Also, any advice on what to get is appreciated. I don't need anything high performance...the car is a daily driver in stop and go Houston traffic.

brakes are the last thing you need to associate the word "cheap" to. also check out the vendor section.

The best place would be where you find the best deal, right?

we have the Stoptech/Powerslot rotors, and a wide variety of pads in stock, or we offer an OEM replacement pack as well - feel free to give us a ring

Wow, cant someone give the guy a straight answer. He just wants average stock pads and rotors. He is not being cheap he is being frugal with something he doesn't need beyond stock. Only advice I can give you is too check some of the auto parts stores local to you. Everyone of them is different. I picked up front rotors and pads for a lexus a while back that were better than stock for around $200. Im sure there is something affordable out there for the Z.

You should check into r1concepts. There is a thread on this company with many positive feedbacks on their products. Brake and suspension section Page 2. first thread on page 2. Spend some time searching and you'll find answer to all your questions. good luck.

+1, I have used them before (my previous car) and they do the job for very reasonable pricing. Give them a call.
