Default brakes

i think im going to go with the brembo front rotors and the ebc pads on all 4, but need rear rotors.will the autozone rotors be ok in just the rear.

I don't have experience with the Autozone rotors but FWIW, I will give a vote for the Baer Eradispeeds. If you don't have your heart set on Brembo (which are supposedly great rotors, too) check out the Baer's. I love mine and they all match!

i would love to have those but cant afford them right now(christmas),i just need something to replace the badly warped stock ones and was just wondering if it would hurt to use the brembos in front and the autozones in the rear with ebc pads all around.

I have Brembo OEM rotors on the front of my Z with Carbotech Panther Plus Pads on all 4 corners. I've had no trouble with the Brembo's, and so far teh stock rear rotors are doing well for me (and I use them....hard on occasion). I was considering Porterfield rotors (www.porterfield.com I think) for the rear. The bad news is that they are $125 each, but they are a proper heat treated rotor and should last a long time for you (and should stay warp free). If the budget is that tight right now (and I understand if it is), you could do autozone (or any others, advance, etc) and save pennies for your porterfields when those need changed. Just a thought....good luck.
