Finally got Brembos + stoptech rotors
Probably one of the most annoying thing for me on the Z was the stock brake system. I mean you would think on a true sports car they would supply some rockin' brakes as a standard feature. I was always jealous of the evo and sti for that particular reason: nicer wheels and brakes then the standard Z.
Anyway I finally found a great though with my buddy Jim (squerly on my350z) and finally got the ball rolling on installing the GT brembos + stoptech rotors (cross drilled and slotted) on my Z last night.
It was quite the experience! 3 hours total...not bad for not having ever taken apart an entire brake system before (most I did was replacing rotors and pads on my teg) And the most surprising thing? Well...that the rotors aren't really held on by anything...
Anyway pics are coming soon!
