The Rotora 1 piece setup was the smallest, but they dont make it anymore.

Just to confirm will all 03-08 350z rotors fit or only the 05 35th anniversary with brembo brakes work?

Only the Brembo equipped 350Z.

The other 350s have smaller rotors.

I just looked up the specs on summitracing.com you are correct. They are expensive as hell for just a complete rotor set in cross drilled and slotted. I know I have to get cl rotors for the rear to match the fronts. Then I still have to buy pads lol. What do you guys recommend for pads? Anyone running the ebc green, red, yellow, blue stuff pads or maybe another brand? I would need to decide which ones to use.

I just like figuring out everything first before I decide what to do, so I only have to do it once right the first time ha.

You dont need to get the actual Brembo rotors, just rotors for the Brembo model. Im running Powerslots, I think they were $200 for the pair.

For pads, I went with EBC Red Stuff. I like them, but if its raining hard out or theyre very cold, there is an initial pause between hitting the brakes and them grabbing. They are also harsh on rotors.

Alright thanks for the info! Anyone else can chime in on rotors and pads options, the more opinions the better.

EBC is where quality meets price IMO
EBC slotted rotors are like 225$ and
EBC Red Stuff for around $90 is what I choose.

Both can be done with a spacer.

Depends on the offset and spoke design. We cant say for sure if they are wheels that no one has run.

The spoke design dictates how large of a spacer you need (if any).
The width and offset dictates if you will rub.

The only way to know for sure is to test fit.

Find someone near you with a 3G TL 6MT or Type S and test fit your wheels on their car. If they fit that, theyll clear the RL brakes.

Likely wont fit and especially won't if it has any kind of lip on it. +45 is cutting it very close.
