Brake Rotors 370GT, 2008 Coupe Type S

[Micky Mac]

G’day all,

 

I can’t seem to find much about this topic on the forum so thought I would ask.

 

looking to swap out the original rotors both front and back and have been looking at DBA assemblies.

 

I have measured (roughly) both front and back rotors and have come up with this.

 

front is the 355mm rotor DBA 2314 (they come in a number of series and drilled/slotted versions).. that’s great… but

 

the rear is the 330mm standard 2337E which has no other alternatives. The next size up is the 350mm that comes in all of the 4000 and 5000 versions.

 

I could just get standard on both front and back but if I’m gonna change them out I want to get something aesthetically pleasing…

 

can anyone recommend either a caliper swap out (and with what, and handbrake assembly) or another brand that supplies both back and front (especially the rear in the 330mm) to suit the front.

Try contacting Brakes Direct. I think they have the DBA2337S

Does your car not come with the big brakes from Akebono? If so, they use the same rotors and pads as the 370z - 2314/2315 range.

Yeah, on the front. But I want to match the rear and that is the 330mm. Not with the 170mm handbrake.

You’re awesome mate, I did speak with DBA and they said they made the slotted version of the 2337 but when I rang Supercheap they could only supply the 2337E

I got the DBA 2314s/2315s rotors from brakesdirect a few years back for my 2008 Type S coupe. No issues with them.

Did you install them yourself and it was not stock? If stock, front and rear Akebonos use 2314 and 2315.

Nah, I mis-measured them… they are 350 rears and yeah they are the stock Akebono. I ended up getting the 2314 Gold X and 2315 Gold x. Great rotors
