New brakes and rotors!
 

Hi everyone. I'm in need to change out my brake pads and rotors. Looking for some recommendations for my '12 370z Nismo. It is a daily driver and do not track at all. I would really appreciate the feedback. Thanks everyone!! :tup:

Honestly, for just street driving oem pads and blank rotors will be fine.

If that is all you need shoot me a PM, I have a set of oem rotors, about 20k on them nothing but DD on them and a set of brand new Posi Quiet brake pads. If you are in SoCal we can do a meet and greet make the exchange the next time I'm down that way, which should be around Thanksgiving.

What Chuck said.

Especially if you care about keeping your rims clean all the time.

What if I wanted a higher performance brake set up? Any recommendations?

Upgrade to ss brake lines and a good bake fluid and the rest is still what Chuck said.

What performance do you seek from your brakes?

What does "higher performance" mean to YOU?

:iagree:

Sorry for the late response. I am looking for a set up that will do well when I start tracking my car. Something that'll do well tracking and daily driving.

The pads that work well on track will not work well on the street and vice versa. You'll need two sets.

Important lesson: Any product that does "everything" does it poorly.
- All season tires, aren't really good at any particular season.

Same is true of brake pads. You "can" find a pad that will work for both. But for the love of all that is holy... swap out your OEM pads AND FLUID before going to the track.
- If you recall, Car and Drive put a 370z into the wall for it's bad brakes.

If you don't mine squeal, Carbotech XP10 pads will work fine on the street (with much better bite than the OEM Akebonos, in fact). For rotors, you could go with OEM, StopTech, or Z1. Make sure to use good brake fluid, Castrol SRF or at minimum, Motul RBF 600. If you're looking for a BBK, look no further than the AP Racing Radi-Cal kit.

I was thinking about this setup. What do you guys think?
EBC USR Ultimax rotors
EBC Redstuff brake pads

I use Redstuff with Z1 lightweight 2 piece rotors. They are good street pads. I would definitely do as advised if your going track more than a couple of times a year XP10's are too aggressive for DD, XP8's would be better.

Sorry, but this was hilarious. Just get a another set of oem pads and blanks. When you actually start doing track days, start reading threads in the track section about what brakes different guys are running.

It's pretty easy to swap pads with the fixed caliper set-up. Its not uncommon to have one set for the track and another for dd use.

I started out tracking with the Yellowstuff pads. It's a good DD pad too. Since I got more time on the track. I'm using the XP10/XP8 set-up with Racing Brake brake rotors.

I use Carbotech XP8's all around and Z1 2-piece rotors for daily driving. They dust like crazy but that is what we have soap and water for. I like them for DD.

Im thinking to get this EBC Yellowstuff brake pads to use them with my EBC USR brake rotors :stirthepot: or you guys think that i have to think on other set of brake pads? i track the car sometimes and is my dd too. Last time I use the Stop Tech brake pads and work fine and on the track stop really really good :)

If you want to utilize your OEM calipers and want good product at a good price I would go to brakeperformance.com You can get drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads for an excellent price. This site offers the bets price I can find and I have been very impressed with the product they supply. I always get the premium kit which has a higher grade iron for the rotor and the non contact surface is coated to protect against corsion. You are looking at $390 for all new rotors and pads cross drilled and slotted. Its a good deal for a stock set up. I would also recommend stainless brake lines and new fluid, for that I would use Torque RT700 it is a little pricey but has the highest dry and low boiling point of all the brake fluids I have found. Any further than that you are gonna want to upgrade the a BBK from Brembo, Stoptech, Rotora etc.

Project Mu Club racers are decent for both, but you'll get alot of dust, and they don't have AS much bite as the Carbotech pads for track use.

I daily drive on XP10/XP8's, but I am also on the tail of the dragon almost every saturday at a minimum. One thing I will say about them besides the typical crazy dust, is that the XP10's HATE cold weather (20-30's) for noise. They have incredible bite from air temperature and it only gets better as they get hotter. I have yet to have any issues out of them on the dragon or the few autocross events i've done. Im running Z1's two piece rotor in the front, and the OEM rotors in the rear.
