Anyone know a place I can get some good quality OE replacement rotors and pads for a 97 240SX SE? The brake in the front are pretty messed up and I'm not ready to do the big brake conversion yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your best bet is AutoZone for OEM brake stuff.

nopi has brembo blanks for cheap

pads depends on what you want

i have pulled meaty pads off junkyard cars if you're really strapped for cash

I called autozone, they want 74$ per rotor and like 50$ for the pads, was hoping for a little cheaper since I plan on doing the big brake conversion in maybe a month or two.

And I'd check the junkyard, if there was one in my area... I dunno what they do with totalled cars, but I've been here for two years and haven't found a junkyard yet.
