new brakes and suspension
Hey I am looking into replacing brakes and suspension...I have about 85 k miles and figure it is about time. I put in tein s techs and the stock shocks aren;t doing so well with them at their old age. I want to get Tokico HP Blue shocks
Also, for brakes I was thinking about these stoptech rotors
Anyone know how these rotors are as replacements for the brembo stock rotors? They are so expensive to replace. Any other options out there for replacements on the factory brembo rotors? Please, any help here will be appreciated.
Finally, what kind of pads should I go with? I have the project mu pads now and like them, but am not sure I want to deal with the squeaking for the first month again. What pads would you reccommend?

In my previous car I've run hawk pads.
The brake dust for me was minimal and had pretty decent stopping power. Pad wear was good too, it lasted for quite a while.
I don't know if EBC makes stuff for the G (wouldn't see why they don't), they are more of a ceramic pad so pretty much little to no brake dust but it makes a light squeal at times due to the ceramic material.
I'm waiting for the stock pads on my G right now to wear down before I replace them with Project Mus.

stoptech rotors will work fine as long as the a slotted and not drilled...tokico hp is a good choice but tokico d-spec are a better one if you can shell out a bit more...as far a pads projects are my favorite. ebc is known to wear rotors fast as they are made of a hard compound. look into endless, nissmo pads also.

Brakes & Stuff....?
Mike, you installed Tein S Techs what other suspension mods have you made?
As in adjustable a-arms and rear toe adjusters....those are a must have with
the price of quality tires. Tokico D Spec shock are your best bet with your
springs....almost factory ride. Stoptech slotted rotors will last a long time,
good choice. Brake pads, either Hawk HP or Project Mu pads would be my
choice....buying/installing either you won't have ANY noise if you'll do
the brake bed in process....do a SEARCH! I'm talking ZERO noise, very little
dust Mike! Good Luck

are the tokico hp's at least as good as the oem? Dont really have the extra two hundred for d specs.
Gary, what else am I looking for suspension wise? I know I need a rear camber kit and plan on getting one. What works for 350z s-techs? Good price is a plus...
What are adjustable a arms? necessary?
