Sorry, just looked it up. A LITTLE more than that, but still cheap. Go to Rockauto.com, and search your car, and check rotors. The fronts (Raybestos 980664) are $73.79 each, and rears (Raybestos 980663) are $54.79. I guess they wear a bit quicker, so you may as well use aggressive pads and buy rotors more since a set of Carbotech's are about $100 than these rotors! lol

Pay some shop 25 bux, they will freeze it like Austin powers style. Part comes back out stronger and more heat resistant

Magnets will probably fly off

Prolly for SPOHN they would. I'm pretty slow they might stay on there.

Thanks SPOHN.

What will they think of next ? Laser surgery on the headlights to remove imperfections and increase aerodynamics ?

...I have not taken my numbers off the car yet. I think I am going to leave them on there. Normal ? Or am I fairly weird.

You could buy magnetic numbers. I leave mine on. But it's not a DD. Course some people wouldn't want to DD with a wing either. Haters.

I have a 2011 Altima I drive everyday .... Z kind of spends most of its time in the garage. I like the numbers on there ... If I get hated on just because of the numbers I can't wait too see what happens when VBD Graphics gets done doing the whole car.

I usually leave mine on for a couple weeks after. Last year I had hell getting my painters tape number off though... the detailer had to really work on it they said.

Going with Autointerests, May 26. Will be the first time with this club, so I don't yet know what they are like. All other days I've done so far were with MPV, they're good, lot of track time. There will be at least 2 Z34's on the 26, me and Spearfish25. I'll keep Grattan in mind, looks like 3balls goes there quite a lot.

I might be able to make that one. :P Are y'all doing both days or just Saturday? I wasn't a big fan of that group... felt a little disorganized compared to some other clubs. I hear they're improving though.

Nice, another Z! I'll be doing the Saturday only, Spearfish is doing both days. I'll be in the novice group though, first time at Gingerman. I assume you'll be at least intermediate?
