Jords Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Having a browse online at the various discs and pads available for the 350z (gt with brembos'. And it seems there's a lot of choice. Would like to have grooved discs like the ebc's etc. What would people recommend as good value discs and pads with decent stopping power? Without emptying the bank account...

Jords Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Wow thanks for the quick reply. I've been browsing your site. What about these? Look the business and say they are the same as stoptech?? https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/350z/brakes/discs/472-350z-centric-performance-zinc-plated-rotors-stock-fitment-pair-brembo-c2x42076.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Centric is the same company with Stoptech, see here: http://www.stoptech.com/about/about-us Centric - OEM quality StopTech - high performance parts Not huge difference in price, I'd recommend the StopTech ones for the 350z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jords Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Thanks for the advice, will give it some thought and get parts ordered after everything's checked out on Friday at atkins. If the stoptech's are the better in terms of stopping power then they are the ones I want. The z is a heavy bugger, a lot of car to stop!

Jetpilot Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Pads and discs wont help you stop any quicker, but they will increase feel and less fade. I settled on a set of mtec j hook discs and ferrodo ds2500 pads, very happy with that set up on road and track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reeceybeaney Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Got EBC turbo discs and redstuff pads all round and the car stops very well, the brake pedal feel is also very solid but that could be due to recent motul brake fluid change as well. I have heard that the DS2500 pads get really good reviews as well! Sure you'll be happy whatever you choose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jords Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Yeah fluid will have to be changed as well I think it's advised you change it more regularly on the zeds with the brembos. I can never remember which are the tougher pads out of the redstuff or yellowstuff?? The greens aren't all that I've used them before and couldn't say much about them really.

nissanjuke Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I HAVE BREMBO BRAKES AND STOPTECH PADS- GREAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scobie140 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I have the ds2500 pads with brembo discs and can't fault them for street driving Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeceybeaney Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) Yeah fluid will have to be changed as well I think it's advised you change it more regularly on the zeds with the brembos. I can never remember which are the tougher pads out of the redstuff or yellowstuff?? The greens aren't all that I've used them before and couldn't say much about them really. Redstuff is more suitable for "fast road" use and yellowstuff for track. However I know people that use both for all purposes, so depends how picky you want to be and what you want from the car! Yellowstuff- Work OK from cold (perfectly safe) Amazing when hot Short life span High dust Soft pedal feel Redstuff- Work well from cold Brilliant when hot Longer life span Low dust Slight low speed squeal Very firm pedal feel Edited February 6, 2017 by reeceybeaney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashback Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I have yellow stuff with my Brembos and they are great even on daily driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly350z Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Another vote for MTEC here. Set of there drilled and grooved disks on mine with normal brembo padds. Stops perfectly well with a nice firm pedal but then ive also upgraded HEL brake lines. One criticism is they squeal a fair amount at low speeds and the dust is horrendous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 A decent set of discs and pads should help you stop more efficiently? Not really, if you went out in the dry and braked as hard as you could, i bet you could lock the brakes and get the abs kicking in, so if your locking the wheels a pad and disc wont change that as youve reached the limit of adhesion, its as efficient as it gets at that point, hopefully that makes sense. A decent pad and disc though will vastly improve feel and fade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 350Z calipers are pretty damn good as standard, discs dont make a huge amount of difference unless they are mega cheap and there are a lot better pads out there than Yellowstuff. My old 350 with Carbon Lorraine pads, HEL fluid and braided lines, standard discs and calipers stopped as well as anything Ive driven.

Diggerman Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 well I'm running bluestuff in my fronts and are great bite from cold considering they are a full track pad, little bit of noise until they warm but nothing that would turn heads haha, still running them in though as I only do a few miles on weekend now but will update when I've tried them out in anger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
