Its all good. I'm sure more will be offered the longer they are avaible.

 

OK maybe I'll go for a built motor first BUT . . . . . someday (soon!) I will have these BBKs!!!

 

I'm getting these before I get the JWt kit.

 

RICER.

 

I just rather making sure I have the stopping power for the TT than run the OEM non-Brembos & TT and not be able to stop.

 

They have plenty of stopping power . . . didn't you read the test?

So now you are like ricer x2.

 

Yes... Hench how getting them!!!

 

If you are ready to go ahead on the black front kit, we have 13" and 14" slotted 4 piston kits in stock for immediate shipemt. Let us know if you need help finding a distributor

 

What are the pluses and minuses of the 6-pot (f) & 4-pot (r) vs the 4-pot (f) & 2-pot (r).

 

Since all of our kits have same torque outputs regardless of their size, the actual stopping distances between the kits will be the same. The benefit of the 14" 6 piston kit (the largest we offer for the 350Z) is that is offers the greatest heat capacity with the increased pad volume. The 6 piston caliper is also larger and looks great behind a nice set of wheels. The downside to the 6 piston setup is the increased initial cost and higher cost of replacement pads (true ballers dont need to worry about this ).

For the rear kits, again its all down to heat capacity and appearance. For track use and performance, the 2 piston 328x28mm setup is really the way to go with its lighter weight and wide variety of replacement pads. The 4 piston rear further increases heat capacity but it is heavier and the replacement parts are more expensive (again, not an issue for the big ballers among us).

 

So the 4/2 is plenty for street and track.

 

Absolutely. If I was to build a track car out of a 350Z without doing huge power, I would stick with the 4 piston 332mm front and 2 piston 328mm rear to keep weight as low as possible and stay on 17s for less rotating mass and cheaper track tires. If I was planning on making big power and using r-comps or slicks, the 355mm front kit would be better since it has more heat capacity but the 2 piston 328mm rear would still be my choice for its light weight and big pad selction.

 

Touche! That is the exact reason I went 355/328. Glad to hear it come straight from the mouth of the expert though

 

Thanks! This is good info! Didn't even think about the weight factor.

 

get black rotora's you will be in the minority

 

Even with a 500whp car? I'll probably end up with 500-500whp and around that much torque.

Thanks!

 

Yes, Devil, the 355/328s will be good for that power level or else I wouldn't have chosen them...

In addition, I will be running on R-Comps which will put even more pressure on the brakes to perform than street tires...

 

I was gonna do the 338mm/328mm combo . . . . 4 pot front instead of 6 pot . . . but Mr. Stoptech said "without huge power" so I'm not sure here.

Cuz we all know what my goals are for my car LOL.

 

If you have 18s that will clear the larger kit and have even the littlest bit of doubt as to whether or not the 332mm kit will be enough, you may want to go to the larger front kit. Its not so much about the power you are making, its the speeds you will be braking from since that is ultimately what determines how much heat is being generated. Track use will obviously create the most heat, but if the tracks you run at keep you at relatively low speeds, the 332mm kit will probably be just fine. I personally track a full weight 300WHP STi with a 332mm front kit and not had any heat issues, even on tracks like Buttonwillow where speeds are upward of 130-140 MPH.

I see . . . . yes I don't see anyone going faster than 150mph on a track (well OK, I don't see myself going faster in my car due to my crappy driving skills). I'm thinking for mostly daily driving and a bit of tracking here and there, the 4pot would be better . . . . but the bigger kit only couple hundred bucks more . . . . LOL tempting . . . .

My car will be like Skidmarqs making 500+whp soon hopefully.
