hey guys.

i'm looking at getting some slotted rotors and new pads for my JZX90 Cresta, have any of you guys done this? if so, what rotors did you use and what pads would you recommend?

i would be looking for a fast-street pad.

i have rung Znoelli's to get hold of pricing, however, they said that most likely i would need to get rotors made to order as the JZX90 is an uncommon vehicle...

cheers

i don't believe the ZZ30 discs are the same as X90 :L i think they are the same as X100 however.

i could be wrong... i hope i am, cause Soarer discs are much easier to find.

I'm going through a brake upgrade list for the 90/100 and have found a couple of pad combos that can be used. So far for just rotors i have found

Biot 1/2 piece
Acre
Dixcel
Endless
Ideal
KTS

The jza80 rotors fit apparently too its only the caliper mounts that need modification when you use the jza80 4 pots.
