I do but have no idea what they are worth. PM with offer and I'll check OEM price.

FYI I can get them for $58 a piece from cobolt friction so not looking to pay more than half of that for some used ones.

Where are you at in NorCal? I have both front & rears. Willing to let it go for $50 for both (picked-up or we can arrange to meet half-way if possible). I need to clean out my garage of a whole bunch of OEM parts.

Do'h, I just ordered a set online from Cobalt.
PM sent, I'll take them anyway.

If anyone else has any rear rotors collecting dust, let me know and I'll take them off your hands.

Dave, why don't you bite the bullet and upgrade your rear brakes to track Brembos or the Stoptech kit? You abuse the sh*t out of the worthless OEM non-Brembos, as I did, sooooooo, just take the plunge! My track rear Brembo's with floating Stoptech rotors have been working GREAT! The rear pads last MUCH longer.

But this is meaningless if you enjoy replacing rotors.

Actually I get about 25 days of of my rear pads and rotors (one year's worth of driving) now that I have found the right compound. I am replacing these rotors because back when I was not using the right pad, I ran a little bit on backing plates (oops) and took a wee bit too much off my current rotors. Hence replacement time. I'm still not convinced that an upgrade is necessary for me.

Did you just say 25 track days on rear pads? Sheet, I was pushing it at 2 track days! Did you mean to say 2.5 days? What is the magic rear pad you found?

Maybe I need to move to CA. The tracks here in the flat-lands are a B*TCH on brakes.

Back to your question, I sold my 2 sets of rear OEM non-Brembo rotors.

Here are my secret pads, but shh it's a secret
https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....ight=raybestos

I've always believed it to be a misconception that cars need huge aftermarket big brake kits. I definately think that the fronts on our cars are not up to the task of tracking but the rears will suffice. One of the magazines did a dyno with a rear wheel drive car with a rear bbk and it lost 10hp just due to the extra rotor inertia. The tracks out here in CA are not that hard on brakes with the exception of Laguna Seca, but my brakes held up well there last month. The only thing I really need to add at this point is my front ducts. The ducting is collecting dust in my garage.

Bubble, yes I still need them. The other guy wants to sell his as a set and I only need the rears. Let me know if you want to part with just your rears.

Where did you get the brake ducts from? Or did you make them yourself?

The high temp 3" hose came from Roger Kraus Racing.
The used n-tech connector to route air from the hose to the rotor came from enthuz Hopefully I'll figure a way to install it all before the summer heat.

ps. still looking for local rear rotors. None of the above panned out.

I was hoping someone was manufactuing a duct kit. I'll have to check out your set up next time we're at the track. Did you still want to trade wheels and tires for a session or two?
