Studnt needs cheap solution to warped rotors
 

My rotors warped over a year ago when i painted my calipers due to uneven pad wear (bad DIY LOL). The dealer was nice enough to resurface them for free, no charge. BUT, as you know resurfacing doesnt last forever. Im coming up on two years with the car and braking at high speeds is awful. Not alignment or balance bc I recently had both done when i put my wheels on, and it happens when I brake so the rotors are warper again.

I want to order new rotors and my friend who works for tires plus will do the install for free. I would like to get cross drilled and or slotted if I am going to do so.

Can someone reccomend me a website or and ebay company that can hook me up with 4 non sports rotors and maybe 4 pads also. The stoptech are almost 400, WAYYY to expensive. I dont track and daily drive only so just need something that is trustworth, wont warp lol and looks cool too.

Shoot links or website names to help me out thanks guys

Stillen.com How did you mess up your rotors by painting your calipers?

from what i think, i didnt put the pads back in correctly and the uneven pad wear over time warped them, i guess. ill check stillen now but bro i need cheaper, stillen is prob mainstream expensive

Stillen look nice but WAYYY TOO expensive. thanks though

Better be careful what you buy, you got a car with 332hp and as I'm sure you know can pick up speed real fast, your going to want good brakes.

If I were you, I would rather get Stoptech rotors Nissan 370Z Brake Kits, Rotors, Calipers and Pads - 370Z Tuner I am planning to get these ones since I am experiencing the same dilemma like you lol. I had the dealership resurfaced mine and seems like it solved the problem, but whenever know till' when it last.

I still don't understand how you could have warped the rotors again in a year or so, resurfacing makes the disc completely level and true and warping should not come back.

Brakes

It can reoccur if there has been Heaving Braking on a regular basis due to braking habit? or road conditions like constant down hills and what not.

the link bradz out up has ridiculous pricing. STOPTECH fronts for 139 shipped and rears for 99 shipped the 55 for the pads. WOWOWOWOWOW

try centric rotors from tire rack. thats what I use.

One thing you don't want to cheap out on is brakes. So don't buy eBay brakes like all the ricer kids do. My suggestion would be to order the stoptech slotted brake rotors. My stock rotors have warped already too, so I feel your pain.

You can't have them turned again? That might be the easiest solution.

Look at Brake Performance - price is lower + free shipping saves some bucks. I am going this route on my G35 this week with the drilled versions.

And if you are a student - you really need to work on your keyboard skills. - Good Luck!

Check classified section. A couple rotors up for sale

trip - your car got clamped at a warehouse?? :icon17:

If money is an issue then sell your wheels and buy a decent set of rotors and pads. You don't want to buy some pos brake rotors and be back in the same spot in a year. Or worse be wrapped around a telephone pole because of brake failure.

Sell car, buy econobox, enjoy cheap maintenance. :))

You know very well maintenace cost on the Z isn't exactly cheap. $400 for rotors isn't all that expensive for slotted or cross-drilled. My suggestion is to either get the rotors turned down again for now and save up for the rotor upgrade. You'll need to replace the pads too, so take that into consideration.

The stock non-sport Nissan rotors are kind of crappy to begin with. My dad's Maxima, Murano and my sister's Altima all eventually had warped rotors. My Z had warped rotors at 9k miles, but the dealer turned them down for me. I will be upgrading to the Stillen or Stoptech rotors later this year (Maybe even upgrade to a BB kit).

yep. ive yet to spend any money on my 3yrs+ old dd other than a few oil changes since ownership. :)

Damn! Those are cheap and good looking rotors! I got mine from a different vendor and costed way more than those!

Engine brake more lol

Warped rotors are not covered under warranty?

Only for 10k miles. It's a wear item like brake pads.

How bout get different pads? And turn the rotors again. Cheapest solution.

rotor and pad replacement
 

Chekc out RacingBrake. I had them on my other Z...no issues.
