AP Racing 14.25" 6-piston BBK. I've heard great things about this setup but had to hold back because of the price. I also didn't realize how heavy these suckers were... close to 60 pounds for calipers/brackets and rotors. Thanks to Gatorz for the sale and great price. Finally, no more brake fade!

I'll have them installed tomorrow and hopefully will have pictures of it.

 

very, very nice. I heard AP racing is the best of the bunch.

 

Yup, they don't make you go faster

nice find.

 

looks good

 

damn albert- a bit over kill for drifting ? :P heheh

PUT USE TO YOUR HELMET!!!

 

May not make me go faster but definitely stop me in my tracks. I just don't like it when they fade and start sponging up.

Drifting huh.... need to start doing that. Yeah, don't know why I keep faking on Drift day. But the helmet has definitely been put to use in other events. Thanks!

 

Nice BBK. I'm in the market for a BBK kit also, but was leaning towards the Stoptechs. How much did you pick those up for? It's hard to pass up a good deal.

 

Valentino,

Here is the link from where I got them from. I think retail for this kit is around $2800-3000. I also bought the SS lines for $175.

Sweet set up there!!

 

One time deal. I see. They look great. I'll check the marketplace. Maybe I can find a deal.

 

Nice Albert,

Your ride's comin along nicely. I sense a photoshoot approaching, haha.

 

Thanks to all for the comments.

Yeah Oli... photo shoot is my next plan and I even have a secret location to do it at.. if it permits.


So my first impressions on AP BBK. It's definitely going to take some time to get use to. The pedal feel has somewhat of a progressive bit. Hard to explain but I'll give it a shot. Initial pressure on the pedal gives less bite than stock brakes but as you keep giving it pressure, I feel it grabbing more intensely. I always loved my pedal feel to be sensitive but I will have to get use to this and I am sure with time I will start to love it. Pics when I get a wash... baby haven't been washed in 5 1/2 weeks because of the rain.


I also want to give thanks to Steve@Corner3 for installing the kit. As always he did a great job. If anyone would like to get installs or work done to their Z and reside in the Orange County area, he is the man to see.. one word that describes him "perfectionist." Corner3 in Lake Forest (949) 380-0801.

 

Secret location...hmmm...color me intrigued. I feel you regarding the weather though. There isn't any photoshoots happening until this crap lets up.

 

Toooo sexy!

 

Pictures as promised. Finally a sunny day so I gave her a wash. Enjoy!





For those who want to know the offset/width/size etc.

Fronts are 19 x 8.5 +23 offset. There was roughly a half inch gap where the spoke was closest to the caliper.

 

Looks very nice, congrats. I have the same brakes, and i agree at first they were not as sensitive as stock and pedal travel was longer, but after a while, they become more sensitive and stop wayyy better.

 

Awesome Albert now get those Volks polished and it will look amazing.
