Brake Pad Replacement Base 370z

dua564 · 03-05-2016, 09:55 PM

Hi all,

I have a 2013 base 370z (non-sports package). I just picked up a set of Red Stuff Ceramic Brakes. How difficult is the procedure to replace pads on this vs. the sports package? Seems like all the DIY articles refer to sports akebono pad replacement.

Anything on base?

Thanks!

Easy as hell. Takes longer to remove the wheels and lugs than change pads.

@Labrador is correct lmao

It's just jacking up your car, removing the lugs, and then there should be a bolt holding it on and you should be able to pull the caliper off and replace it.

Sometimes it can be a little difficult to get the spring/clip out. But it isn't really that difficult at all.
