I ordered some EBC greenstuff brake pads for my Z and now I am having a hard time finding a place that will put them on.

Firestone told me they only put on brake pads they sell...

Tokyo town told me they no longer work on nissans...

Courtesy Nissan wants $330 b/c they think my rotors that have less than 25k miles on them need to be machined (this is what they told me over the phone they didn't actually look at them)

I know gotham racing will do it but they are about an hour from me and going to a shop like that for brakes seems a tad extreme... anyone have any better ideas?

Thanks

 

Go to MIDAS...I think $85 for 2 front brake pad installation.
Includes the machining the rotors.

 

You should always machine your rotors or scuff them with sandpaper when changing pads.
Last time I checked OReillys Auto Parts charge $8 a rotor for cars and then if possible change the pads yourself.

I just called intercrew and they said $50 (for all 4)... that seems insanely cheap anyone ever deal with them?

 

Do it yourself its easy and you save money...Ive dealt with intercrew on my older car before dont like them very much. Not the best customer service. I was getting a custom intake made for my car and they wouldnt allow me to see it during the process of being made. Just wasnt very professional everywhere else Ive been like Gotham and Rotary Performance they would take me back to the shop and show me what was going on and let me help a little.

 

changing brake pads is SO easy man. if you were in houston, id do it for you for lunch! Just do it yourself man, all you need is your stock jack and some hand tools and a big c-clamp to compress the caliper piston.

 

I agree save your $50 for gas and DIY very easy, there is a DIY post here somewhere

 

i changed the pads on all 4 wheels of my G(brembo package).its real easy, easier than my old maxima. def DIY and get the rotors turned, if you dont the news pads wont bed right on the rotors.

 

I have a shop, and we work almost exclusively on Z's. I can install your pads to problem. I can even show you how it is done.

I was debating wether to do my own Stoptech Stage 2's or have someone else knock it out for me, I might be giving you a call next week
