6 pot 14" BBK (front only) VS stock brembo all around?
i have non brembo.
which one will be better? performance wise and apperance? it will be odd that if I only have huge front brake on front. but it is sick... the price on used 6 pot 14" goes around $1700~$2000 and stock brembo is like about $1600? |
bump???
|
I've been in a car with 14" 4pot Brembo BBK in front and Stoptech Stoptech stage 2 in rear, and also in a car with OEM Brembos.
BBK thrashed OEM Brembos if you ask me. |
if your shelling out the $$ id get bbk. look into megan racing. there brakes are surprisingy good, and rival the ap racings setup. the rotors are even better than ap's according to the review
|
If you're going for a street and light tracking (auto-x, etc) go for the the Track brembos. If you're going to track your car you will need to upgrade the rears anyway so you should upgrade both front and rear.
What I chose to do is upgrade to OEM brembo a couple months ago. Then when I saw a good deal on a Stoptech Front BBK I upgraded the front. So now I'm running OEM Brembo rears and front BBK. |

you're basing this all on a single review.. i know, i read it too. as much as i want to believe that statement (hell i have stoptechs) that the "meatballs tastes like filet mignon" i'd like to see bigger race teams put on the Megan racing brakes and put it to an even more harsher test (i.e. a 24 hr race.. or even longer endurance race) rather than a couple of time attack sessions, to have it compared to "AP racing setup." |
Another updated questions
i see 13" rotors with 6 pot (willwood or rotora) for around $1300. (4 pots for $900!!!) http://www.onadimepbs.com/onadime350z.htm
would it be possible to upgrade the rotors to 14" with same caliper? |
That kit you pointed to does not come with 2 piece rotors and the mounting brackets are steel. He does nto give the thickness of the rotor but I'm willing to bet it's a 28mm. Performance wise there are better kits. If your just tooling around town or take it to the track now and then and take it wasy then they are fine. 4 piston or 6 piston doesn't really matter performance wise.

JET Jet, You're correct they are 1 piece rotors. They are 13"x1.10" and I've supplied this information here. Our mounting brackets are steel, coated for rust protection, and CNC'd to the thousandth of inch. They weigh in less then 1lb, in reality it wouldn't effect performance if that's what you're getting at. enuff4life -- Our stage II front kits are on 5 different cars on this site, feel free to ask them what their opinions are. Autigers350z, DaytonaRoadster, and Villianous350z are the most active and can give accurate opinions on the kits. Just because I can provide a product that's affordable does not mean it doesn't perform. I provide another option for z33's and performance wise there are better kits, at 3 times the cost and not to mention the cost of replacements. Mods I'm not trying to sell my products or get banned, just providing information. All the best, Alex |
Just wondering, what's the benefit of two-piece rotors? Just lighter weight? Thanks.
|
2 piece rotors are much lighter weight, the ability to just replace the friction disc instead of the whole rotor, and the floating 2 piece rotor allows the friction surface to expand without coning. This kit likely has the heat capacity of the stock Brembo's which isn't bad except for really serious track driving. I wonder what race pads are available for these 6 piston calipers.

Two-piece rotors benefits

Good luck in your BBK choice. Testing the benefits of BBK vs Stock brakes

good info here

I don't track my car, but i just wanna fill the gap on my wheels. and little bit increase of performence wise?
So should 4 pot and 13" rotors will be okay? would it be better than stock brembo? |
No it wouldn't be better than the stock Brembo's.

I did an extensive research between BBKs and OEM Brembos before replacing my '06 non-Brembo brakes. Mind you, the '06s were already much larger & better than previous years. In the end, what swayed me are cost & availability (& affordability) of replacement parts (pads & rotors) for the OEM Brembos. My Z is a weekend fun car and not a full-time track monster so the OEM Brembos were fine from the performance aspect also.

JET That is incorrect. A Vendor recently weighed the two and there was 10% difference. |
