Default StopTech 6 piston 14 inch rotors

Hey everyone, I've been lurking the forums here since i picked up my 07 base model about six months ago and figured I'd sign up after I just installed my first major mod: Stoptech 6 piston 355mm front and 4 piston 355mm rear kit. The kit fits under the anniversary wheels! Pictures to follow.

The fit looks tight. Brakes are an excellent choice.

Agree. There are a dozen performance upgrades for the 350Z. Brakes are at the top of my list. 10 times more valuable than ghetto wheel spacers.

I haven't had the chance to really test them out yet, but I will be hitting the canyons later today. Just bedded them in last night, but the extra braking power was easy to feel. Gonna pull my wheels off and check everything out before i really put them to the test.

The fit isn't as tight as that pic makes it look, there is plenty of spoke clearance.

Great choice, I LOVE my 14" stoptech brakes, both on the street and track! I've had mine for over two years- no problems whatsoever. Swapping pads are easy, no noise, great performance. It is the best upgrade IMO for the Z.

I'm loving mine so far, I couldn't get them to fade in a canyon road where i set some stock fronts on fire. just had a little brake smell. And you can wait so much longer to brake it's crazy, actually was really hard to get used to how late you can brake. not to mention how much easier heel-toes are with the stiff brake pedal, its like the harder you lean on the brake pedal the harder the brakes grab but the pedal doesn't actually move down.

I agree, I got the 4 front(355mm) and 4 rear(355mm) and they got crazy stopping power, so I could imagine what the 6 front feels like, best mod to my car.

The brakes look great. The 06+ stock wheels have tons of clearance for bbk.
I had my eyes on the exact same setup. Great choice!

^^^HAHA! I didn't notice that it looks like the stool is under it. Well you know I wanted to put my brakes on so I had to do what I had to do.

The brakes are working awesome by the way, they are just great and I was a little surprised that they are totally silent with the street pads that stoptech ships with the kit. I couldn't be happier with them.
