Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Street and occasional track day brake pads

Hi, all,

Wife wants to do some HPDE days in her 2013 Sport Touring Z 6-spd. It’s the one that seems to have upgraded calipers.

I doubt that she will test the brakes that much in the first year on track, but I want her to have a good experience and stay safe. She’s been out as a passenger in my car and also had some hot laps with instructors before. Done a few laps in exotics (some of those “dream car experiences”), and I’m excited to share this hobby with her.

Any recommendations on pads for the 370Z in this trim, that will be good for the street (good cold bite, no squeal) which is 99% of what the car does, but won’t throw in the towel after a couple braking zones at the end of a long straight?

Are the stocks adequate or should I be looking for HPS or some other brand / material? How about the fluid?

Thanks in advance!
