Hey guys,

Am pretty new here haha.
Just got my WOF done and was informed I needed to change my front and rear brakepads.
I've got brembos on my '05, and am just wondering if you knew any affordable brake pads that will fit!

Any advice or comments are greatly appreciated

Give the James, Steve and John at Race Brakes a call, say I sent you. http://www.racebrakes.co.nz/home.html
They have variety of options, and as you have Brembo calipers there are more options that the standard Nissan calipers.

Thank you BRONZEE!
Will give them a call over the weekend or sometime next week.
Jeez the costs start to add up haha.

Don't think they're open on weekends as they're usually at the race track or at motorsport events then.

Important to get good stopping power to pull up, 350's are heavy lumps at over 1460kgs.

You could also go to BNT as a second option. They can definately supply something that will fit.
Whoever does the work make sure the brake fluid is replaced. It's likely to have been in there a few years and is so cheap to replace on a road car. 350z Brembos are really easy to work on if you know someone familiar with changing brake pads.

As a third option you can go either Supercheap (Bendix) or Repco...

I upgraded to DBA slotted rotors and Ferrodo pads. Noticeable difference in braking response.

Same years ago, it makes a big difference!

Ive got a good rear set OEM pads and shims from the Brembo 2006 350Z I sold. Only replaced as I brought new pads all round. They are no good to me and so can be yours if you pick up in Greenlane. 0211390709

Ohh wow so many responses, thanks heaps all of you! I'll definitely have a look at everything suggested
I had originally got some pads from Repco (friend works there so can get me discounted stuff) but she's not sure if they have pads to fit brembos

ZILVER! Thank you for the offer but I just replaced the rear ones Only after the front ones at the moment - not too urgent but definitely need to be replaced in a few months or so.

Repco definitely have pads for Brembos. went in a couple weeks back to price up some for mine.

I've got larger aftermarket brembos (Gran Turismo 355/345mm kit).. Still haven't figured out how I'm going to buy new pads when they're needed..

Hi Brembo pads are one of the most commonly available pads in the world available in many different compounds for many different brake pad suppliers. Generally speaking I would not expect the likes of Repco to have much in the way of variety if any available for Brembos . Brembo, AP, Willwood, JFZ etc etc often share common backing plate configerations.
Companies to try include John Arkley at Race Brakes, Cardwell Racing Supplies, Sydnam Spares, Alert Motorsport, Neil Allport, Brennan Racing.

bnt do stock pads to fit 350z standard brembos, a full set that's front and rears cost $90 and they were a good road compound and work fine for everyday driving ,I would imagine much more cost effective for the average user, but not cheap crap either

Haha I may need to get her to have another look! She was like OMG I have no idea which ones they are.
Will probably change the front ones next month or so once I get back from the slopes
