Default cut rotors or not, only 6200 miles

i have a 2004 350z roadster with 6200 miles on it and i think im going to put ceramic pads on. the reason im doing this is that when i do drive the car the only thing that gets dirty is the front rims. go with hawk

not. and the best way to address that dust is a properly sized brake system from an 05+. I got a complete low mile setup (front/rear and rotors) for under 300. Worth every penny. I did alot of brake jobs on my 03 before doing the upgrade... I dont even see dust for weeks anymore.

If the rotors are not warped or grooved to hell , they do not need to be cut

Much better. For normal daily driving - got to the local Autozone/OReilly/Pepboys/Car Quest and buy some generic (Bendix, Akebono, etc.) brake pads. That's all you need for low dust, normal temperature range, everyday driving.
