Changing brakes and rotors
 
2 Attachment(s)
I have the sport / touring. I was just about to order new rotors and pads but I wanted to triple check Im getting the correct ones. My calipers say Nissan on them, not aki, and my front and back rotors are different sizes. Looking at my options online, all 4 rotors seems ro alwaya be the same size?
Ive attaches pics of current rotors

Sport brakes are Akebonos. Different size calipers, pads and rotors for front and rear. If you order online, just make sure you specify front or rear. The pics they post can be generic pics.

Appreciate the response. I was going to grab this complete set. Should do the job, eh?

I think ghostvettee posted somewhere on forum the part numbers for the autoparts store and that is about half the cost of z1. might be worth a quick search.

Interesting. I'll try to dig it up.

I actually just clicked your link and see its for drilled and slotted rotors and upgrade* package. I was thinking you wanted oem replacements.

Yeah - I did some searching for individual products outside of the 'performance' sites, but tbh this package seems like its pretty well priced.

Yeah, thatll work as far as getting the correct parts. But wether or not that brand is quality, I cant speak for that either way.. :tup:

Edit: I do have the Z1 Premium SS lines, and Im happy with them. I dont know anything about the Rotors

Yeah my Z1 slots were not machined correctly so after awhile of driving I noticed 1 and a half slots had gone missing on one of the front rotors. I've been using Frozenrotors blanks and they hold up well and don't cost much.

I've used Centric premium blanks from RockAuto on all my cars for years with no problems. I use them on the track also. I'm sure I'll get flames for not buying my rotors from either Nissan or z1, but this is also an option
