You got all 4 rotors for $190? I haven't heard of those rotors going for that cheap 2 maybe. Where you find this deal?

Don't bother with the calipers unless they are bad... There aren't any aftermarket performance calipers for the stock sized rotors.

I installed Raybestos Quiet Stop Pads when I installed new Cross x and slotted rotors 4 months ago. They are excellent pads, stop great, totally quiet and dust significantly less than OEM pads. Cost $56 for fronts and $46 for rears at Pep Boys.

300ZX 4 piston calipers or Maxima 1 piston calipers. The 300ZX caliper has much more stopping power than that of the Maxima caliper. Hence why some of us, me included, have done the 300ZX Brake Conversion.

I don't think the 300Z rotor thickness is the same as the 4th Gen's... So you will probably need to buy NEW 300Z rotors (and machine them down) as well... He already bought rotors...
