Awesome post + article. +1 Rep and thank you for joining the forums.

Thoughts on good HPDE pads for the stock calipers on the 370z? I was leaning towards XP10 front and XP8 rears...

Jeff,
When are you guys going to list a 370Z application? Or would we just get the G37 ones?

Thanks
Mike

Mike,
G37 and 370Z are the same. I'll get the 370Z listings up on the site (I swore they were up there). Much thanks for the catch!

RCZ,
If you're talking about the Sport Akebono brakes, the Ferodo DS3000 on the front and the DS2500 on the rear would be an excellent setup.

I don't think they're up on our site yet, but one of my guys will be adding them shortly. Below are part#'s and retail pricing. You can buy these from any Ferodo reseller (preferably a forum sponsor). They are in stock, and we supply all of the resellers in the USA.

Front:
FCP4172R
$323.22

Rear:
FCP4173H
$182.41

Also, much thanks for the kind words about the article.

I tried the 2500's on my 06 STI and wasn't really happy with the results. Maybe the 3000's will do the trick. Also, I know the Carbotechs are noisy and dusty, but they are great and cheaper.

Thanks for the part numbers

YOU WILL NEED TWO SETS OF PADS. ONE FOR THE TRACK AND ONE FOR THE STREET.

What about high performance street pads? HEY. DON'T EVEN GO THERE!
