Well...
I am taking a risk lol...
Nismo F/R Pads
EBC "Drilled"/Dimpled + Slotted rotors
Goodridge SS Brake lines
and
1500ml motul brake fluid...

i know that not alot of ppl ever buy nismo performance stuff because they are usually not up to par with other products within the same price range...

the pads I talked my local dealer into matching performance nissan's price (which is good)
123 Front + 104 Rears but + 6% sales tax (instate bullsh!t) but then performance nissan = about the same in shipping cost and it will take a week to get here instead of 2 days from my local dealer...


so... the arrival time line goes like this :
Friday - Motul fluids
Saturday - Nismo pads
Monday/Tuesday - EBC Rotors
Thursday - SS lines


Any body got any pre-install comments to make?

 

huh? i thought you sell your car already and retired already.

 

yeah but i decided to change everything i have to NISMO and keep the car clean instead

 

.. no body?
*cry*?

 

Do you track your car ?

The rotors will look good.
I’m pretty sure the NISMO pads will give have good user-friendly performance.
SS brake lines, I’m guessing you have the non-Brembo brakes right? They will give a better pedal feel with easier modulation. I’m not sure I’d want them on a Brembo setup.

Over all it’s good, useful mods.

 

^^^ Ditto.

 

THats basically a stoptech stage II upgrade for stock brakes. And it works great IMO. I have the Nismo pads, motul, ss lines and my rotors surfaced and the brakes were very good. However, the nismo pads need to be heated. So the first stop of the day wont be good make sure that you hit the brakes a lil before venturing on the highway or something where you may need to stop abruptly because they wont grab completely right away.

 

i was going to get the stoptech kit
but a couple things i didnt like...
the pads they give (the name doesnt sound tunerish)
the rotors... the EBC rotors have a different glare to it than the standard stoptechs..
yes my setup = more costly but hopefully it performs just as well

 

are you serious? that just seems really imcomprehensible to me, you know you are paying more for a product that might perform as well as a tested, manufactured and less expensive product?

well i bought name brand items like NISMO pads that cost 2x as much as Hawk HPS lol...

 

nismo pads came today, motul came yesterday afternoon...
expecting EBC rotors monday morning around 10:30-11:00


NISMO pads look very very nice btw
i'll post some pics

 

Lol are you serious??? You didn't trust a brand because they didn't sound "tunerish" as you would call it. Jeeze for all the time you do spend on this board do you actually learn anything??

 

lol
but i'd rather call my brake pads nismo lol
its like spending a bit more on Bayer Asprin rather than CVS asprin haha

 

problems with my nismo pads...
