Is it possible to paint stock calibers, the non bremo ones. Also is it possible to upgrade to the brembos, or would i be better off going straight to aftermarket?
Thanks

 

Yes, it is possible. I think there's even a DYI on here somewhere.
It is possible to upgrade, but you can get better bbk than the stock brembos (assuming that's what you're talking about).

 

Its possible to do either... whether you would be better of going to aftermarket or not depends on your driving...

 

and your pocketbook

 

what bb kits would you reccommend? Im looking to be somewhat money savy. I wont track the car very much, but i haved overheated my stock brakes already. Would i be better off just going with some drilled/ slotted rotors, and some hpp brake pads for the time being

 

You're talking about brake fade? What are you doing that's making your brakes fade?

 

quick stops at higher than normal speeds.

 

I stop doing the "quick stops at higher than normal speeds" and save the money for something else.

If you like speeding so much, save that urge a little bit and let's go to the track as soon as they open. That'll also show you how good/bad of a driver you are and how well your performs.

 

haha kinda sounds like a challenge. But yeah i do intend to go out to the track the next time everyone goes out.

 

It wasn't intended to be a challenge, but it can be if you want it to be.

BTW, there's no "everyone." I'm the only person that ever goes to the track around here. There's a couple that's been there with me once and there's a couple that want to go next time I go. I've been trying to get others to go, but most are just too chicken.

 

How did this guy get "calibers", what does his Z have guns mounted on the hood?

 

Haha, I didn't even notice that. BTW, it's caliPers.

painting non brembo caliber is rice. go get real one.

 

i wasnt gonna paint the stock caliPers and put a brembo sticker, i was just gonna black them out for a cleaner look. The grayish silver just looks dirty to me.

 

Its not rice. IMO, I painted mine Chrysler orange(reddish orange) and they came out nice. I had left over high temp paint and just took my time to do it myself. 4 hrs or so.I like painted calipers and didn't see the sense in dropping 5k into brakes when i dont track the car right now.

 

btw its a nissan so it pretty much is rice... to any domestic owner or driver

 

hes got a point.

 

paint the non brombo black is a good look imo since they are ugly brakes

 

that was my plan. You live in one of my favorite states. Beautiful up there.
