Hey all,
I was looking to buy some new rotors and pads. Just wondering if something like this would be ok. This is my first time replacing either on my 04 Z, which i have had for about a year.They look fine and the seller has 100% feedback. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissa...Q5fAccessories
If not, id appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. Thank you.

 

Check out CZP, they have a fair selection. There is also courtesyparts.com, if you are more dead set on going the OEM route. I think the prices on either of those sites might be a little more fair. (And you are dealing with more reputable companies as well)

 

buy cheap, get cheap. btw.. point me in the direction of an 02 350Z.

 

Thanks alot man. Im just looking for whatever is quality and price efficient. The dealer wanted like $900 for pads and rotors. But i guess most of that is labor?

 

drilled are a waste of time. Stick with OEM

 

Ok thank you. Will do.

 

Just get some cheap blanks and if you must have drilled holes, use a typical hand held drill and make some holes yourself. Mad SIMPO.

Honestly, use the search function.

 

So where would be the best place to buy these, courtesyparts.com ?

 

OP: $900 is WAY too much, you can get OEM rotors and some decent performance pads for about $250 total, and put them on urself in less than an hour (that is, if your stock rotors aren't frozen on LOL. When I installed my Akebono BBK, most of the time spent was getting the stock rotors off. Rubber mallet and banging on rotors at 01:30am FTW! My neighbors hate me thou )

Thekinn: You mean '03 rite? ;-) ... (If it was a sarcastic remark than nevermind, sarcasm never really conveys well over the internet)

 

i just purchased new rotors and pads from MAPerformance, the price was great and the qualitiy looks great aswell. 4 slotted rotors and hawk pads for under $400. i think its a great deal.

 

Haha. Yeah thats what i figured. I just want to know what i should buy and where is the best place to get them. I figured it would be around $250. Throw me a link if you dont mind. And he was using sarcasm and being a *****. I didnt think it was that funny though.

 

Awesome. Thanks for the post man.

 

If you want OEM rotors, go courtesyparts.com. I think u can get OEM rotors for less than $200. If u want slotted, cross-drilled, or slotted/cross-drilled, CZP (conceptzperformance) has them for anything ranging from $150 to $300. Pads, I would also go CZP, they have them ranging from $40 - little over $100. Sorry I can't post a link, I'm on a government computer and can't access the sites. But there is always google, man's new best friend. Just google courtesyparts.com or czp, it should show up... also, I tkink they might have links on this forum as well in the marketplace section under vendor listings.

 

Please avoid CZP - thanks.

Try the other vendors on this website. There are TONS of deals to be had in the Vendor Marketplace.

 

+ 1 MAPerformance is a vendor i found in the market place. Here is the link to the thread i found them in. https://my350z.com/forum/brakes/4424...9-shipped.html

 

^ fair enough. I take it there are some bad experiences involved, I just thru them out there because they've been nice to me. Oh well, the message is the same I guess thou: look at the vendors list. I just personally try to avoid eBay like the plague...

 

Thanks alot guys i appreciate it. Cant believe you didnt flame me to death. Very helpful.

 

These look very similar to a set I purchased off ebay over 3 years ago.

I upgraded the pads to hawk pads and SS brake lines and dot 4 brake fluid. Best bang for the $$$ spent, no problems and i had the front tires off today and no warpage, and plenty of rotor and pads left. If u go this route make sure the rotors are zinc coated and & step up to better brake pads & extras if possible. I have had this car to the track 4 times on this setup and no noticeable performance issues. Don't worry about what the name brand ****** are telling you. I got my setup from R1 rotors on eBay, I think they are still selling today.

Good ruck on whatever you decide to do.

 

I did purchase cross drilled and slotted rotors from R1Concepts a year ago. They had good customer support back then. I went back to order Hawk pads and they wouldn't answer the phone, so I grabbed them cheaper from a vendor on this site.

Hawk pads are well worth it. I had some shitty pads that R1 sent me with my set of rotors for the past year. They'd die on long stops (100+), but hawk pads (while dusty) don't fade like that and they work predictably when they heat up.
