PICS of Stoptechs and RAYS installed on my SS Touring.
Finally got her cleaned up and snapped some pics today. I LOVE the brakes! The black calipers are simply SINISTER behind the RAYS and I catch a LOT of people STARING at the StopTechs.
I did the install myself, which is not bad for a guy who has never even changed his own oil. Michael-Dallas provided his bleeding expertise to finish the job.

I have the Rays and Imay have to go the Stoptech route as well, I will be going to a track event this Sunday so we will see if I can live with stock brakes one more time.
They look great.

what are the widths of the wheels? are they the same all around like the touring wheels? it almost looks like the front wheels have a wider lip than the rears. btw, i like the the black stoptechs. much more subtle than the red ones.

Everytime I get ready to replace my track Rays wheels with an aftermarket set, I take another look at them and realize how beautiful they really are, and how well they work with the Z's overall design. Even though you can fill up the wheel wells more with some bigger and wider rims, I still haven't seen anthing that looks that much better than the stock track wheels, although the TE-37's (in 19"...the 18's don't work for me) come close.

I'm taking it slow and putting a lot of thought into everything so I do it right the first time. I'm still living with BLOSE and don't really care!

I hear you, believe me. Nissan should of given us trackers 19x10s in the rear and 19x8.5 in front. The rays track wheel would be a beauty in 19. As soon as I see a wheel similar enuff to it in 19 I am all over it!
BTW Nice photos Droid! The attention to the location you chose makes me think you are a photographer by trade!
