If I don't get new pads soon to at least limp along, then I'm not going anywhere.

BTW, thinking of hosting a weekend day of grilling at my house and having as many Z cars as possible to surround the block.

CALLING YOU WHEEL AND CAMBER GUYS
Puzzled on offset, REALLY NEED HELP....trying to run Neutral 18x9.5's on all four wheels..offset is 40mm...Now I found a great deal and am overly in LOVE with these BBS rims...is this too much of a stretch to run on my non-brembo 2005 Z effectively?

You're probably gonna need 15-20 mm spacers.

on a 9.5" wheel, look for +15 to +20 offsets. a 40 mm would be fine if the wheel were an inch wider.

So assuming I run a 15-20 mm spacer, this is going to require a full front and rear camber change as well?

This wheel **** seems to elude me at times, I just want the damn rims work bc they're what I wanted forever, and dirt cheap...so trying my hardest to fit em up...

id say buy them and tset fit them to figure out what size spacers you need. if done right you shouldnt have to mess with the camber.

lol - 41 feels pretty good. I had a good day. Ended it with a bonfire in perfect weather. Of course, I woke up with all kinds of aches and pains today.... shoulder still hurts every now and then. Maybe it's telling me that rain is coming.

Par, I heard that rear pads are fairly easy to change. I need new rotors and pads.
