I got the same rotors that came on my car from the dealer. When I bought they had rust and when I polish it off it comes right back. So I want to replace them with a good set, any suggestions?

I'd like to see it. 275's shouldn't be a problem. I know ppl roll their fenders at 285's.

Yeah I agree but where the majority of the rust is that I've polished off in the past is where my rim marries up to the rotor where the break pads don't touch. You can see it from yards away. Thanks dal ill take a look at them!

Let me know when u got time I'll swing it by so you can tell me what you think. Nate was saying it will bareley fit an if there a dip or bump I'll bottom out quite a bit, his biggest concern was the handling issue. I could drop it for Show!!!! But my Go!!! Is going to be compromised.

I don't think you will have rubbing issues if you roll the fenders. I was just sayin that rolling could be a little hit or miss to do without cracking the paint Nate

Can't decide between s-techs and eibach pro kit... hmm.
I have done a lot of research on springs. I finally opted for a set of RSR springs as they are linear and the spring rates are slightly stiffer all around. This will allow me to corner better with more consistent control. The teins and eibachs were my second choice which are very comprisable to oem and still give good ride quality.

I also agree with J. camber kits all around are the way to go especially if you care about saving your wallet from tire ware. I went with toxico dspecs as they are fully adjustable shocks. The HPs are not but are a very good alternative.

info is here: http://my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-s...n-101-a-2.html

I am just waiting on finding a good price for a set of spc or eibach rear camber kits. and then I will be dropping my car.

I was also considering plast-i-dip painting my oems there have been a few guys on here that have done it and it looks pretty good. Tom let me know what you think I need a second opinion. Also, I do not know if I can part with my OEM 19s as they are some of the lightest 19" rims you can get on the market.
