Installation Help? DBA 370Z Sport Brake 2 Piece 5000 Series T3 Clubspec Rotors
 
Do you guys know if there's any installation instructions for DBA 370Z Sport Brake 2 Piece 5000 Series T3 Clubspec Rotors? Is it just plug and play?

Or do I need to cut/grind anything down to clear the screws/nuts hardware?

Please let me know, thanks!

Plug 'n Play.

You do need to remove the caliper (undo the two bolts that secure the caliper to the hub), which means removing the hard line to the caliper, which means you will need to bleed the brakes on re-assembly, so make sure that you are all prepped to do that before starting.

Once caliper is remopved, pull the old rotor off, clean the hub face with a wire brush, make sure the new rotor seats cleanly, re fit the caliper and hard-line, bleed the system and you are done.

Why remove the brake line?? I never do, I just unbolt the clamp on the hard line and move it just a little. I've done that many times without issue.

^agreed. Loop some wire through the caliper and hang it up so it isn't dangling and putting stress on the brake lines

I use a bungee cord.

I have never had a hard-line - took them off when I got the car as we made up our own aeroquip lines from day one, so was an assumption on my part ... sounds like it is not an issue.

Now, don't you have to replace the brake pads when you have new rotors?

DR_ 06-26-2013 10:14 PM

You don't have to but I would unless the pads show no wear.

Just installed these last weekend along with a pair of 4000 series rotors in the rear and pads all the way around. Very easy install, 4 hours for everything including brake fluid flush/bleed.
