Default ugh i hate to do this, brake pads in so.cal.

Tried searching but the search function on this board is strange. Basically recommend me street brake pads for 2005 350z Base. and where I can buy them locally in greater Los Angeles area.

thanks


flame on.

Chances are you might have to resurface your rotors.
Just upgrade to Stoptech Stage 2.

I used to work really close to Stillen, and I would get my Hawk pads from them. I liked them cuz they weren't as dusty as stock.

We carry, Stock, Nismo, Hawk and Project MU. PM me for pricing. I checked with Service, they recommend if you have over 3000 miles you should lightly resurface the rotors. BUT, if you've been driving the crap out of the car, even 1000 miles might be too much. Hard question to answer.
