Any Evo from V to IX rotors will fit. 320mm x 32mm.

Plain rotors can be bought from eBay for less than $130 for the pair.

That good huh? I'm seriously considering the brakes for obvious reasons. I know it's expensive and most think that good rotors and pads are enough but I disagree, and I don't think you can ever have too much braking power.

The only downside is the weight. Stock evo rotors are 10 kegs a pop, compared to the FTO rotors at 7kg a pop. I ended up spending 600 bucks on super lightweight 2 piece rotors from the US. Which surprisingly enough are 7kgs each...

6 kilos of unsprung weight make that much difference?

They will with calliper brackets. freakyparts.co.uk sell the brackets, you'll also need 350z brembo rotors.

I costed this exactnsetup 2 days ago, gonna set you back around 700-750. You'll also need to get new brake lines, best get braided lines (unless you already have them)

Local RDA or DBA rotors will suffice.. Even Evo 8's.. Has to be a 320 to 324mm rotor.. And u need rims to clear them..

Will all be going on the Evo when I sell my FTO.

I may do a 5 stud conversion while at it..
