Small Questions Thread: Brakes and Suspension
It's best if they include a picture so you can keep them strait when looking this stuff up online.

I shouldnt' be on here reading this bc I'm at work but I am needing rotors soon on my 03 sedan. I dont' want to go with plain rotors and I read here that the 2 piston G/Z front brake setup would be a nice upgrade. what model should I be looking for to get these parts off of? are the front rotors bigger than what I have on there, I'm assuming yeah but I just want to be assured. Thanks in advance.

The rears also have a slightly bigger rotor/caliper. You can find the calipers for pretty cheap. It's the pads and rotor choice that are determined by your budget.
Wish I knew that sooner. I drove four hours to Atlanta on Wednesday to pick up just the fronts. $60 for both front calipers. I was gonna buy all four calipers for $150, but I thought the rears were the same. Thank you though. Now I know to look for some rears as well.

The pads will fit if you already have them but the correct part number is 44060-EG00J

Z1 offers all corners for under $100. You can also go with stoptech for about $40-50 more.
should I worry about anything? (quality difference)
So after reading all the threads about the z/coupe suspension I was still left a bit confused. I an '03 sedan on non-sport suspension, am I able to grab the front springs from any model 350z and replace my front springs, and any model g35 coupe and replace the rear springs? Any help is appreciated, thanks.
read through all this and my question hasnt been asked...
i installed coilovers and did the whole rear toe and camber arms, alignment and all that good stuff. I know my way around a vehicle, not superbly but enough to fix some things the right way. after lowering the car i feel the rear end loose when i go over bumps or on the highway. it shifts to the driver side and throws the balance off for a split second and corrects. Also seems to be a tad lower on the pass side rear, when installed i counted all correctly to make sure it was all equal height. Lowered cars before and never had this problem. ive made sure everything underneath is buttoned up and tight and VISUALLY inspected for wear and didnt see anything out of the normal. All is stock aside from the arms and coils. What should i check for next or install to correct this?

I have a question for motordyne sway bar owners.
I just received my set recently and they only came with two bushings. I was under the impression that they came with four but i was told the new ones require you to reuse the other two. I personally dont like the idea of using bushings again. So, my question is are the two that come with the kit front or rear? and are they urethane?
In addition what bushings do you recommend using if i need to purchase some?

If you get new brakes do you need new rotors as well? Because the last time I got new brakes I did not replace my rotors and now I think they are warped because when I drive at high speeds and start braking, the car starts to shake. Is this a sign that the rotors are warped?
