im looking for a braking setup close to the brembos if not better but not sure what companies make a great setup for the 350z. What do u guys recommmand.

thanks alot,

 

Lots of great choices of the market. Budget will guide your decision. After all the research I did, StopTech was my choice. I'm very happy with them.

 

AP Racing
StopTech
Rotora

I have upgraded Brembos, but I think that the AP Racing 6 POT Brakes are the superior brakes on the market right now.

 

Stoptech or Rotora

expect to spend from 2K to 4K for this mod.

 

I have a 13" Stoptech kit and am very happy with it. Don't really notice it much on the street aside from it looking damn cool, but it makes a huge difference over the stock Touring brakes on the track. Stoptech's customer service has also been stellar and there tons of different pads for different applications available. If you are looking to get into a set of Stoptechs on the cheap, I came across this thread in the NorCal forum.

This system uses Wilwood 6 pot front and 4 pot rear. I have two years of tracking in temperatures up to 105 degrees without cooling and these are great. I do 10 track days a year.

Advantages:

13.6" dia rotors so 17" wheels fit over them!!!!
No kick back seen to date
Russel provides great service
Three temp ranges as your ability improves
Easy to work on as I have removed many times to change studs in the rear.
$3500 full system

 

Stop Tech IMHO...

 

+1

 

This link to Zeckhausen's website outlines our testing procedures and offers real world results comparing our brakes against the track model:

+1 for the Stop Techs and their Aero rotors.

 

I put the same question to Rob @Z-Car Garage and he said "Stoptech, hands-down". They've tried the other systems and cited the deficiencies of each for me. On top of that Stoptech takes their customer service more seriously than most. I know what I'll be buying.
Happy New Year,

The brake pedal feel of even the 13" (front only) StopTech system is astounding. I'm saving my lunch money to get the rear StopTechs to match (although probably the only thing that will improve is looks!)... yes, it's that good!

Are you "sold" on StopTechs yet???

 

if you go with the rear 12.9" kit, you will be improving more then looks!

 

Man - I love how everyone trys to sell the mods they did.

I would talk to some of the dealers out there and see which one fits you:

Budget
Perfomance
Customer service
...

There are a lot of good companies out there, so you should be able to come up with a list.

That way you are happy with what you got. Not just - "come over to the dark side like I did."

 

everyone on the board seems to be with stoptech. and i have been on different websites with them comparing those to the factory brembos, but trying to work on price.... is it really 2-3 grand just for the front? i saw those prices and was like damn.

 

OEM Brembo Brakes will be around 7000 for all new factory parts...

$4495 with stop tech aero rotors instead of the factory ones...

stop tech full 4 wheel kit MSRP's around that... but PM me for best pricing...

 

i got stoptech 14" front/rear 4 pot. really nice kit,except it took a bit over 4 months. if i wanted to get what i originally ordered i would have to wait another month or so on top of that!!!

so when ordering make sure you ask how long it takes!!

i'm selling my kit if anyone is interested.

 

What are the biggest Rotors that you cuold upgrade to on a stock brembo system?

 

same size rotors... cant go to a bigger rotor...
