Default thanks to speedstar

Speedstar did a fantastic job (as they always do) with the brake upgrade on my car. I can't think of any other places that are more helpful / professional / reliable than the speedstar.

before & after pics.

This is a akebono front brake set....basically the 370z set up....can't wait to test it on the track.

I know,,,the maxima wheels & winter tires have to go......

Holy cow those are big, how big are the rotors? Tasteful mod, If I didn't buy a track model a BBK was going to be done immediately and basically considered in the price of the car. Big brakes are hawt.

Probably see you at Mosport or Shannonville at some point!

you will see me at mosport / shannonville for sure.....
I got these from conceptz. they are a site sponsor. check out vendor/brake section for price / options / availability.
The rotors are 14" in diameter.....didn't get a chance to see how well they perform yet but, they feel great compared to the OEM set up that I had.
I like the fact that all parts are OEM except the bracket, which is made by conceptz.

damn, the clearance is TIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT. I hope either:

a) you're not planning to track with those rims
b) the caliper and rim aren't going rub against one another once they warm up...

looks nice though...tempted to buy a set as well haha.

Thanks Greg, that setup looks much bigger in person...It makes the brembo looks so tiny. *Note to J* No i am not selling the brembo

What car are those calipers from? They look like Z32 calipers, but I doubt Z32's are that big?
