Where is the best place to get OEMs?    Ronayers  sells them but how do I know they are the latest?

I ordered mine from the dealer.

Maybe Man of Blues can clarify this. It looks like the 08-09 have one part number. The 10-11 have another and then the 2012 on up have another.

I think he just means the 2012 part number is the latest.

Looks like it was already discussed here http://www.zggtr.org/index.php?topic=23582.0

They look to be cheapest from Partzilla. I also think they stock them so they ship really fast. I think sometimes things are shipped from Kawasaki first and that takes extra time.

I had my front brakes re-done at 18k miles in Oct 2013 and also 25k miles on May of 2015, both under the extended factory warranty.

I just started noticing the shudder again at 42k miles and need to start looking at options. Seems like the latest Kawi pads, part number 43082-0122 are best per my reading.

Anyone have any info on the rotor thickness range? I can mic it out and see what it is, but don't have the ability to check run-out. Just wondering if in 17k miles, the rotor may need to be replaced?

It isn't bad yet, so I have time. I will be doing a cleaning and maybe even sanding of the rotors (as best as possible without removing them) I can do, to see if it helps. Also plan on adjusting the throttle cable tension (this is a thing right?) as I don't know that it has ever been done and seems a little "sloppy".

Interestingly enough, my brake shudder on the C14 was caused by an errant piston in the front caliper.  Rebuilt the front (new seals) and it went away.  I lived with it for many years.  I kick myself for not doing them earlier.  It's not always the rotors.
