Stoptech BBK
Hey
I want to buy a BBK for my car right now. I was going to go with a Stoptech 14” 355mm 4 wheel kit. Red and cross drilled. I don’t track my Z and I’ve always wanted a nice Brake Kit. So what do you guys think? Thumbs up or Thumbs down? I got $4200 shipped from one of the vendors here but theres a month wait , damn. My second thought was Rotora 14” 6 pot front and 14” 4 pot rear. I really don’t want to wait
Thanks for the help guys.

Stoptechs are great BBKs. I have them on my 03 coupe and I want to get a set for my 06 Roadster. I had Brembos on my 03 Evo 8. Both are great brands, but I prefer the red Stoptech calipers over the Brembo golds.
Good luck either way!

edit: I need to get the coilovers too so I can lower the car a little

^ Nice! What color calipers are you planning on getting? With your setup, I'd suggest getting them custom yellow to match your Z. It'll also give some contrast to the color of your wheels . Problem with colored calipers is they turn black/dull over time & hard braking conditions but I don't think you'll need to worry about it since it is just a weekend ride . If not, black is always a good neutral color to pick for your color.

Thats funny because I was thinking of getting yellow calipers. I just needed to here is from someone. I know red would also look good. My budget is $4000-$4300 for everything.

Here's a perfect example of custom yellow Stoptechs on a custom Z . Mazzoo's Z is simply hawtness!!!

^ Hahaha. I knew you'd like that
Now you just have to decide which brand you want to go with since most will offer custom colors for a certain fee. As I've mentioned earlier, you can't go wrong with any of the ones mentioned above & there are also other options as well.
Good luck & Happy Modding!
