I have them, bought the kit from arizonazcar.com and they are amazing! Plus installing them was a breeze. Great stoping power

I just got some Wilwood BBK's as well but I haven't installed them yet. Got the 14" 6POT (Front) + 14" 4POT (Rear). I'm trying to track down where I can purchase one of the small metal clips that helps keep the pads in place. There's several members in here that are currently running them & I've heard nothing but great things about them. I think the only thing you'll have to look for is to ensure the kit works with the e-brake since I was told some kits will completely eliminate this.

Default I have the same kit with two years on it

I got that kit from Russel. You are going to love it. I have probably 20 track days on it with absolutly no problems and in temperatures up to 105 air.

Russel is very supportive. You can depend on his response and service as you use pads. I started on the standard pads but went to the J pad front and B pad rear. The rear wears twice as fast as the front but the balance is great for high speed stopping power.

Enjoy

Thank you all for the reassurance, Installation is a breeze? really let me know, and how much did you all pay, I spent quite a bit of money on these, (1850 Front and 1850 rear with internal e-brake) Did I get hosed? or is that a good deal

I have a question -- I went to the wilwood website, and they don't seem to have a specific application for the 350z. Where did you buy, how did you know what the application was, and why did you end up choosing wilwood?

I got mine used so I got it pretty cheap. I know that one of the vendors here had specials on these brakes. Here are the threads:

I agree with C RAY Z... you are going to love them. I have about 7 track days on mine and they have performed flawlessly.

Just brake them in properly (I assume you use a street compound) take it easy on the brakes for the first hundred miles or so...

I have track wheels 17x9 with 275 race rubber that fit over my kit. The rotors are 12.6" in diameter which is just right for all 17" and above wheels.
