If I want to put some nice cross drilled rotors on and change the brake pads, how do I go about it?  Do I have to change the whole brake assembly?  And who supplies this stuff for the best prices?  Thanks guys for any help.

Umm...  If you wanna stay stock size, then I'd check ebay for the rotors.  If you have 5 lug, thay'll be harder to find on there, but they do show up.  Next least priced is PDM-racing.com.  And brakepads are a matter of who you believe.  I love my ebc pads.  They have gotta be the hardest gripping pads I've ever owned.  But then some hate them, and like Metal Masters...
If you wanna do a 300zx conversion, it looks Awesome, especially with s14 5-star alloys.  Big, massive NISSAN logo to intimidate people...  It's great.  
But the choice is prefrence and pocketbook size..

Would this mean I would have to convert to 5 lug?
