Default Finally pics of my Z - Stillen,Veilside,Varis,Nismo,EBC...

First of all, sorry for the poor quality, Ive got a point and shoot digital cam and I suck as a photographer... plus the lighting was weird the afternoon I had time to snap off some pictures.
Second of all, yes I need to get my CF hood sanded and re-cleared.
Third of all, I promise better pictures as soon as I get my blue sparco torinos in and my hotchkis springs installed.
Fourth of all, ENJOY!















18" monoblock forged rays nismo LMGT4's These are the front wheels and my EBC sport rotors and redstuff pads.


Just messing around...


Stage 2 - going stage 3 as soon as my belts arrive (stage 4 down the road)

any comments on the EBC brake kit? I'm kinda let down on mine, just wondering if its just me. The performance is great though, its just the noise (i hope its normal...kinda)

Unfortunately no vids as of yet. There are some vids out there... i know there is one of an s2k and a turbo z with a stillen s/c chase car and you cant even hear the other two cars over the whine of the stillen...

I have noise also, its common with these rotors. I love the kit though, the quality, look, and performance make it worth it to me despite the noise; at least its like swooshing and not squealing so it doesnt sound like something is wrong.

Thanks for the comments.

any luck with the "bedding" technique? I'm pretty sure I tried something similiar as described (here http://www.pagidusa.com/bedding_in_procedure.htm ). But they are still quite loud, even when not braking. My father helped me do my brake job and insisted on not bleeding the brakes (not necessary he says). I'm wondering if this is causing any problem. I'm having no problems at all with the brakes themselves, actually they are quite nice.

I just bedded them in when I first put them on but I dont think the bedding necessarily is supposed to stop the noise... most people ive talked to with slotted rotors have noise. I dont think you needed to bleed the brakes unless you replaces the lines or fluid.

nope, didn't replace either of those. And I know what you mean about the initial bedding. I was scared when they made that weird noise the first time I applied my brakes. Thanks

I plan on getting v1 sides and hopefully rear but i will probably just do painted, im not a huge fan of cf sides because they sort of break up the lines of the car and it doesnt look as low.

Thanks for the feedback.
