Thanks to lotus, FB-350, and packman22 for these. i am now the 4th owner (but only second user) of these brakes. see the sig below for details. exact same set-up lotus used to have.

Very nice, and I love the wheels

 

How does they feel? What did you pay? Was it just simple bolt-on?

What the weight difference from stock?

Is it okay for VSC and TCS, I mean systems doesn't know brakes are different now...

 

they feel great. seem to stop harder, but it might just be in my mind. i know the stopping distance numbers where only a couple of feet shorter in tests with the brembos compared to the stockers. however, the real change i am looking for is in track use. i know they will be much better. hell, almost anything would be better.

paid just north of $2000. sounds expensive, but considering it includes rotors which cost $900, lines that cost >$100 and pads that cost >$150, it's not so bad. hell, i have seen people pay up to $2000 just for the original stuff.

it was a direct bolt-on. same mounting brackets, just different bolts on the rear. i wouldn't call it simple, just because it is time consuming and frustrating (esp. if you can't get the old rotors off like me).

weight difference, i don't know. didn't measure. i'm sure it cost me a couple of horsepower, but i'm not concerned.

it has been fine for my TCS. i don't have VDC, so i can't speak to that.

thanks.

Where did you get those center caps for the TE37's?

 

Your car looks great. $2k for that 4 wheel kit is a great price. They will offer you quite a bit more heat capacity than the base brake system...and they look about 1000 times better.

 

J Ritt...i couldn't agree more. thanks!

dumbcurse...i bought them from a fellow my350z member V35. he had GT-C's or GT-7's and wanted different centercaps. alot of people, including Makin (the US distributor for Volk) said they wouldn't fit the TE-37's. thankfully, they were wrong.

yep he got them from me, i wanted to get the flush caps. Everybody said they wouldn't fit but bigdaddy and I proved them wrong. Here's a pic with my flush caps

 

Thanks guys for the center cap info.
I ordered a set of TE37 with flat center caps not knowing the GT center caps can fit. I don't need to worry about them for now since my dealer told me that the wait could be as long as 12 weeks and it's only been a month since I place the order.

 

looks amazing bigdaddy and i'm glad everything worked out...
i think that brake setup gets the 'most traveled' award...
