Question need advice on rotors and clutch

im new to the 350z thing.. owned mine since new ...05. But i have been doing the muscle car thing for a long time. Im looking to do mild upgrades for my Z. I need to do a clutch, and rotors all the way around. This is my daily driver. I have a few mild mods, and no real desire to do major ones to the vehicle. But as it wears i will upgrade. Ive turned 96k miles on the stock clutch and its time!! im looking to do clutch, pressure plate, and maybe flywheel too. hearing things about going to a lighter flywheel as they arent dual mass and cause gear noise?/ As well my cryo rotors are toast. i want to replace all four. Im curious as to the brands that have been used and tested?/? im not looking to spend thousands but want a product that will last and give me a little more than what ive got!! any help would be great..

For OEM replacement rotors that are excellent quality without any slots or holes Centric premium rotors are best bang for the $ IMO. Never had issues.

Clutch and flywheel wise when its time for me I'll be picking up a mid range southbend combo. I of course have to get the HD slave cylinder bc I'm an HR car.

Welcome and congratulations.

Clutch suggestions can be found in the drivetrain forum. Upgrade to what? If your current clutch has sufficient clamping specs you get nothing with a new clutch.

Rotor suggestions can be found in the brake forum. You can spent $200 to $2000 for rotors. For $2000 you get pretty 2-piece rotors. Will $2000 rotors perform better than $200 rotors? Nope.
