The braking power feels a LOT STRONGER than the stock brakes, the stock ones were really good and all but these are .....pics coming later

Thats awsome. How much did that cost you?

interesting that you felt that they are so much stronger because many mags and reviews say that they are about the same until run a few laps around a track, then you get more fade on the stockers. Maybe it was just "feel". At any rate, I'd rather have Brembos than stock if they were free, but no way am I gonna pay for them for street use.

Bah, they stop the same... UNTIL the stockers heat up. (Even that's a tough task as the stocks do a NICE job with Carbotechs on them)

The Brembo's have an entirely DIFFERENT feel. Whereas the stocks are VERY sudden, the Brembos have WAY more modulation and you can control braking far more comfortably.

sicilianoNYC

yeah, i noticed that the brembos feel different. Like with the brembos the pedal travels fasrthenr until the pressure builds up for braking but when it hits it hits a lot harder. The stock ones like you said brake farther up the pedal....if that makes any sense, you track model users have the same feeling huh?

and yes i did bleed it well

Why choose them over stoptechs? Maybe you got a good deal.

trackstar

Just the fronts? Or all 4 wheels?

And the big question: how much?

I think he got a good deal...Brembo from G35. He initially thought that he got screwed on the deal, but I guess it turned out OK?

i was thinking, do i now need a new spare tire instead of the one i got with the enthusiast...cuz i doubt the enthusiast spare fits over the calipers?????

Wait a sec. Did you say you paid $2200 for the oem G35/Z Brembos? I sure hope not.

sicilianoNYC

yes i did and that is not a bad deal considering ive seen some go as high as $2650 around here....also why would i spend $2200 only to get a front brake kit for that money if i was to get aftermarket, plus the pads for the brembos are a universal part.........

trackstar

$2200 is a decent price for the 4 wheel brake kit.

iTrader: (17)

Yep, that's very reasonable. And no, the spare should be the same for all models. Give it a try.

Don't get me wrong ... I think those oem Brembos are sexy!
If $2200 is all you have to spend for both front and rear ... not a penny more, then you'd have little or not other alternatives. For just $600 more, however, I'd gone with something else.

Brakezone should be releasing their new 13" Wilwood kit soon and set to be in the $14xx range. So, that'd be ~$2800 front and rear. That's still more than what you've paid (by ~$600) but is arguably a superior kit. Stainless Steel Lines, Forged Calipers, lighter weight, larger and tougher rotors that has higher heat capacity and probably better integrated cooling vanes (similar to their 14" kit). Replacement rotors are also significantly cheaper w. most after market BBK. Something else to consider.

those look great, and 2200 is a deal on these brakes. Congrats.
