Anyone have better luck with any particular brand of front rotors?? Plane old Auto Zone type or spend the bucks on Brembos?
The zx has vented rotors not solid like the 240-280's.

Have you asked Riley at Lynchburg Nissan what he's heard re: the zx rotors? I know he had recommendations for the 240z (he said avoid the Brembo), and I would think he's gotten alot of feedback on the ZX parts as well. He's normally pretty good at recommending what he thinks is best vs. what's on his shelf.

"Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you."
Hey Guys,
I think Chris mighta mistunderstooded me a little on the Brembo subject. Sorry if I wasnt as clear as I should have been...
Brembo's are always good, however...
The fronts are not available for the 240Z in Brembo.(I dont think they ever were) I stock them in Mountain- a great Japanese brand.
I do have Brembo fronts for the 260Z & 280Z, and they can be used on a 240Z if you also use the hubs from a 260Z or 280Z.
I spoke to Charles about the 280ZX fronts and found that I cannot get Brembo's, but I can get Bradi- another high quality Italian brand, equivalent to Brembo which is also Italian.
Regards,
Riley
so Riley,
what would you suggest for my ZX?

We run them on our EP Z and they dont last long (4-6 races dedending on track).
We would also be intrested in a higher quality stock config rotor for the ZX if not to expensive.
For my 2 cents worth for racing the autozone ones are dirt cheap and and easy to get so when they warp its no big deal to keep spares handy.
