I just got my 26mm Z32 calipers .I'm about to order the rotors, pads and lines. Now, I know that I'm getting the SPT conversion lines, but I'm having a little trouble with the pads and the rotors.First of all does anyone know where I can find Brembo blanks? All I can find are slotted or cross-drilled rotors. Also, are the pads interchangeable between the 26mm and the 30mm calipers? I find no differentiation on any web site.Thanks for your help guys. The weather is getting nicer and I can't wait to get the brake upgrade done!

You don't need Brembo or any other brand. Call the local parts store, give them the year, make and model, and trim level the 26mm calipers are intended for and they will have on their shelf rotors, pads, calipers, but probably not SS lines.

Don't fool with parts websites when the answers are just down the street.

most parts stores do not have 26mm rotors in stock, and probably can't get any for you. IIRC, heavy throttle is as cheap as anywhere else with their 26mm rotors.

OK maybe not in Oklahoma. Are the coast states just spoiled because we are near the ports? Seriously speaking I have never heard a parts store or dealer say they do not have and cannot get parts. This coming from a guy who spends a fair amount of my work day on the phone with dealers and parts houses finding parts. There are always parts, keep up the search.
