help! Brakes!
 
I recently purchased a 2009 370z base with sport package and it has 30 thousand miles and its time to change the brakes! I was wondering whats recommended for daily driving?
Are power stop brakes/rotors any good? Are the oem brake pads good for fast street driving and stopping?
Would a kit like this be good and better then the stock brakes?

Does anyone know any brake kits that are not too expensive but are pretty good?

I plan on getting this one from Z1. Great guys to deal with and this package gives you pretty much everything that you need. Your choice of pads and fluid too. Give them a call and they'll definitely help you out.

"Fast" street driving and stopping. Sounds like a plan.

What ever you do, don't get brakes from eBay unless they are name brand.

I have seen someone at work, and heard many horror stories about eBay generic rotors. They are often made of low quality steel from China and are below manufacturers thickness requirements to save on steel. And no one needs any slots or holes(drilled) in their rotors for street driving of any sort. They are just points of failure that need constant inspection for cracks.

Do you know of any brake pads and rotors that are not cross drille or slotted then? That are fairly inexpensive! And is there any point to change the stock rotor yet it doesn't have any discoloration or warping, and if I don't need to change it yet what kind of brake pads should I get to put on the stock rotor?

Rotors:

Z1's rotors are pretty cheap, you can get them slotted (I wouldn't recommend drilled, IMHO, but it's not gonna make much difference one way or the other really): Akebono 370Z/G37 Sport Package Performance Rotors . If you want plain blanks without slots just buy OEM ones: Front, Rear. The OEM and Z1 options are about the same price though, so I'd just get the Z1's. If your existing ones look good (no pulsation or steering wheel shake when applying the brake, no obvious signs of damage physically, not worn too thin), you really don't need to change rotors though.

Pads: stock pads are fine for street driving, so are all the street pads you'd see in Z1's kits, e.g. the Posi-quiet.

You don't need to worry about SS brake lines and fluid upgrades for street driving, it's not worth the trouble.
