my friend has a 350z, and he just took it into the dealership for a tuneup, and they say he already needs new pads and rotors? that his rotors are below spec for resurfacing and need to be replaced? is that possible? i mean the pads make sense, but shouldn't rotors last longer? and they're quoting him $450... what do you guys think?

 

does he have the track model?

a lot of owners w/the brembos are having to change their pads/rotors early.

 

naw, it's the touring model

 

:thinking:

i'd say that's unreasonable....

 

did he track his car at all? I know one or two track days can eat through a set of pads. that is if you are fast.

 

he should take it to another place for an estimate to see...or he should buy a caliper and check them himself.

dealers are awful when it comes to that shit, they had me waste a lot of money one day telling me my girls car needed brakes, (not even close but i had the shit, so i did it)

 

no track :dunno: and the pads are whatever, but rotors already below spec for resurfacing?

 

and we all know 350z is hella slow

 

its heavy though.

 

shut it f00 350z is slow if driven by a slow driver h:

just like any other car :fawk:
