Brake pads 260Z

[bobzilla7]

I'm after a quality brake pad as one of mine is loose and I'm guessing it's a poor pattern part.

Standard brakes as far as I'm aware.

What are people using?

Thanks. Good site with a comprehensive list of part. Do they ship to the UK?

Yup, usually in around 5 days. Faster and a hell of a lot cheaper than most UK suppliers. Basically you can get almost all serviceable parts for the Z from them. Even all the weatherstripping.

Pay attention to the little truck icons - once you add something to the cart, it will add the truck symbol to any other part that will come from the same warehouse. It works out much cheaper if it all comes from the same one. There's 4 I think.

I got mine from EBC brake parts but RockAuto will probably be cheaper. There are 2 types for a 260z so be careful when ordering.

Ahhhh, damn. Knowing me, I've bound to have ordered the wrong one! Went to RockAuto in the end.

The way to tell is if you have alloys with gaps in them, look through at the caliper and see whether they have pins top & bottom to hold the pads. Otherwise you can see by taking the wheel off. There is another type that are held in the calipers slightly differently and are a different shape.
