I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’m not smart enough to figure out wtf is wrong with by brakes. Basically they are loud as all hell once they heat up. I would like to resolve this asap and am willing to pay someone to come and help me fix it. Lmk if anyone is interested, I’ve taken it to 4 different shops out of frustration and noone can find anything wrong. ---

I’ve had this problem happen before at the dealership. Wound up being the finish on the rotors resonating. What brand of rotors did you get? Some cheap-o set? ---

Well heres the deal with the rotors… I got them from a group buy on 3zc where they were advertised as brembos. I come to find out they aren’t Brembos, and are some cheap “Mustang upgrade” rotors instead. So now I’m going back and forth with the admins trying to get them swapped for real brembos. ---

Sticking calipers? Maybe? I can probably put you in touch with a vendor on [Maxima.org](http://Maxima.org) that might carry real brembo blanks for the Z. I know he’s got tons of Maxima ones but he might carry Z ones. ---
