For my 350-Z I've made some changes in appearance. Added are slotted and Drilled Rotors from Z 1 motor sports, Painted calipers, AXIS Matrix Wheels That were purchased through my friends at need for speed motorsports in california with BF Goodrich G Force T?a KDW 2 Tires. 245/35zr 19 in front and 285/35zr 19 for the rear Wich Rich from RDZ helped me get through tire rack. soon I will be posting some pictures of the Rays Engineering wheels that I took off and put them up for sale. they are 19x8.5 in the front and 19x9.5 for the rear. so all you guys with 350's keep watching.. :)

Seriously nice, Scotty Boy!

I'm not very observant; I wouldn't have noticed if not for the calipers.
Not ostentatious, just the perfect amount of contrast to go along with
that of the taillight lenses. BTW the rims and rotors harmonize just right
with the car's basic color , which I love, as well.

Hey Mike, the Rotors came from Rich at RDZ when you order them you want to get new pads ,which the ones I bought are HPS high performance street disc brake pads. Better than stock OEM. Rotors from RDZ run about 385.00 and the pads are 140.00 I changed everything over my self wasn't bad at all. :)

Thanks Scott !
Thats not too bad... I want to do brake pads, the OEM are way to dusty. After seeing your pic that may be the way to go.

Yes Frank, I have used ceramic pads in the past Not to bad they seem a little hard. The pads I'm using now Through a little research and development came Highly recommended from Rich at RDZ and from Z 1 Motorsports.
Here's a little write up. :) HPS - High Performance Street disc brake pads are world renowned for increasing stopping power on your street legal vehicle. Increasing the performance of your vehicles braking system is easy when you choose Hawk Performance’s HPS braking compound. This unique Ferro-Carbon formula was developed for street performance using the safety and quality of Aerospace and Motorsports severe-duty friction technology.

The High Performance Street compound offers a higher coefficient of friction over stock brake pads and can provide you 20-40% more stopping power and higher resistance to brake fade than most standard replacement pads. Less fade means you’ll have a highly durable brake pad with less brake dust..

HPS Ferro-Compound Features:

Increased stopping power
High friction/torque hot or cold
Gentle on rotors
Extended pad life
Low dust
Virtually noise-free
