That is for the pair. The pricing may be a little different since I am the first one to get these and was told that I got a slight discount.

That thread was not about these brakes. These are the first set made. As far as I know I am the only one that has them.

Jeff

 

nope, i never picked up anything yet. havent had time to goto any track events lately, been working 70h-80h weeks and been going to school ...

but, ill be picking a set of these up pretty soon i think

 

Well, they were about Wilwood calipers vs Brembo/Stoptech/Ap

The benefit of four thousand dollar vs two thousand dollar brake sets was beaten more than minced horse meat

 

Yeah, I was part of that beating, but we where talking about the brakes without having them. He actually has them, and that means a lot more. If we can get another debate going on it on these brakes that would be great, cause we finally have an example of them.

A real comparison is EXACTLY what we were looking for.

 

I looked over what I wrote and realized it might be taken that I meant "don't post a thread."

I'm sorry if it was misinterpreted, I meant don't post in that thread as it would revive it from the dead

 

I ordered a G-tech Competition Pro meter so when I get the brakes installed I should be able to provide accurate stopping distances. www.gtechpro.com I will wait for the rear kits and install them all at once.

I am running 19 x 9 and 19 x 10.5 HRE 445 wheels with 255/35 up front and 285/35 on the back so consideration would have to be made for the wider rubber.

Does aftermarket brake kits affect the cars ABS system?

Thanks,

so whats the deal with these? they dont have them listed on their site. Where can I order these from?

 

Give them a call and talk to Dayrl Armstrong, he will set you up. I think he is also the primary engineer that designed these brakes. Let him know I sent you.

Just for clarifications sake, the 2 links that Mike W. posted are NOT of the brake kit from Precision. They are pics of my kit. www.350zbrakes.com and www.G35brakes.com

I'm sure there will be many questions of why the Precision kit is $1,100 vs the $2,000 for my kit. First, Precision is using Wilwood rotors and hats (nothing 'wrong' with them). I use a custom full race rotors and custom rotor hats with a different mounting mechanism that I believe is better (my opinion) - of course my per part costs are also higher than Wilwood since I don't produce in their quantities. Second and most importantly - my kits come assembled (rotors and hats). I was very surprised to see that the Precision kit was not as it is EXTREMELY important that the rotors and hats are all torqued equally and in the appropriate pattern to keep them from warping. Obviously it takes a good amount of time to do this right.

Lastly, my kit with 13.6" rotors will fit under the stock 350z and G35 17" rims. The Precision 14" kit will not.

 

So you are saying that because the kit isn't torqued and assembled, that they have a higher likelyhood of warping and cracking?? By warping, I assume you mean bending.

 

The instructions I got with my kit were to tighten the bolts to the rotor hats in a sequence similar to tuning a drum head. The instructions for this were to maintain propper true not cracking.

They say to torque each bolt to 15 ft. lb. and also use locktite. It looks very straight forward and easy to do.

Jeff

 

Man, I need to buy a torque wrench, bad.

 

little_rod, Jak beat me to the response and he is correct on what I meant - warping of the rotors.

Keep in mind that since you the customer are doing the assembly, you also have the liability. So if your brakes do end up being out of true (and on a big brake kit, 4 thousandths out of true can cause pretty big vibrations), you don't have much of a case to say that the warpage was due to defective parts....so you will have to deal with cutting the rotors.

BTW, and I know this from experience, if you inadvertantly torque one of the bolts to "18ft/lbs" instead of the instructed "15ft/lbs", that is all it takes to cause the warpage.

I'm not slamming the kit, just educating about the potential 'bumps in the road' with this non assembled kit.

 

Russell,

Thanks for the heads up. The rotors seem awfully rigid and so I didn't consider the hat assembly would be that critical. I will be extra careful torqing the bolts.

Where can you buy these persision brakes?

Your link doesn't work....

 

It looks like they are updating their website. Here is a new link.

Wilwood, at last check = no dust shields.....not the best choice for a street car IMHO

 

Are the brakes, semi metallic?
