Default 350z Track - Brembo Brake pads with new rotors?

Sorry if this has been asked already..

I just purchased a new set of Brembo brake pads for my 03 Track. If I were to replace the rotors (130k miles), what would be the best bang for the buck? The stock OE rotors are about $1000 total, so I was wondering if there was a better/cheaper option keeping in mind that I just got the new brake pads.

Centric premium rotors are good and cheap. Centric makes rotors for Stoptech. Rockauto.com probably sells them the cheapest, look around online for a 5% discount code.

i got ebc slotted ones for way less and got the rebuild springs and pins from z1 along with braided lines all for under 1000,

check summit for rotors thats where I ordered mine I got slotted EBC and I will never go back to plain, the slots have way better bite when its wet or cold and keep from marring way better
z1 had both the brembo compatible braided brake lines and also has a spring retainers and pins with new cotter pins for a great price all those are OEM

http://www.z1motorsports.com/ lines, springs, pins
http://www.summitracing.com/ rotors/ pads and DOT fluid, DO NOT ORDER LINES FROM THEM THEIR PART IS WRONG

call summit on the phone they will make sure you are ordering the correct PN for your brembo replacements

StopTech is owned by Centric, I also have a set of those rotors and they work well...just not the best bang for your buck you were looking for.

Get some nice slotted rotors or even the 2 piece ones. I doubt theyll run the $1000 the dealer wants.
