370Z Brakes?

MC · 12-02-2008, 06:21 PM

i'll have to look again i forget what the calipers are but the rotors alone are over 700 each and the pads are like MSRP for something crazy but can be had for about 500 a set for front and 400 for the rear

My old pads alone were like 300 for the fronts. Maybe I should've had a mini hehe.

Anyone knows where can I buy competition brake pads for the 370z+sport package?
( compound 01 pads for racing )

thanks /!!!

Check out the Carbotech XT8 and 10 for g37s. Same brakes as the 370 w/ sport. Those are amazing..

Hi, do you race man?
I've bought a 370 about a month ago and I'm taking it to the track in 4 weeks
I"m gonna buy those brake pads you recommended, and also the oil cooler from doubledownmotorsports.com. do you think their quality is the same as stiller ? ( stiller does not have the oil cooler yet )
any advice for the 370 on the track? would you change anything else in the car?
thanks

On a side note, here's a list of supercar manufacturers that use AP Racing.. where cost isn't an option.. they just want the best..

Does anyone know if the 370Z OEM (Akebono) sport brakes will be a direct bolt-on to a 2003 350Z with non-Brembo currently installed?

I'm not 100% sure, but I am 90% sure that they are not. Check with Concept Z to be sure, but I think their kit comes with an adapter bracket to make them work. I do remember someone sent me their calipers to powdercoat, and he said he was missing some adapters ( a different vendor, who is not a sponsor here and who also sells a kit forgot to include them)

the brakeman kit Robispec developed used different brackets to mount the calipers to the 370 uprights....so no the two models aren't compatible.
