hehehehe... it looks ok... the car does have 115k miles on the clock,
and gets driven alot (obviously). miami does is not conducive to aftermarket
bodywork as I am sure any local would attest to. After plowing (pun)
$1000's into aero it just becomes a nightmare, therefore I decided to
call it and go back to stock/lip.

We can still do prop bets on who can stop the fastest

Thanks for the vid GG!

^ Any proof on that stopping claim?

Unless you changed your entire braking system, all you did with the larger caliper/rotor combo was increase the surface area. Stopping isn't just about larger surfaces.


Also, for some reason, I thought your car looked different than what was shown in the vid.

I'll setup a prop bet with any streetable z - street tires, full interior, etc...
Shortest stopping distance is the winner...

Contact me via pm if you're willing. I'll put my money where my mouth is.

rofl @ bet. In for comparo vid, if somebody does take him up on it.

I would think that with your larger calipers/rotors, your true advantage is with brake fade resistance. Braking takes into consideration the coefficient of friction on the pads/rotors, tires, suspension, etc.

He and I can do a comparison if it's that important or at the very minimum see where the Brembo's stack up against other kits... I have an Akebono kit and an Endless kit. The set up looks sick in person by the way.

I can DEFINATELY attest to that. So hard to find a reputable body shop that can do an excellent paint job.

And Im not down to throw down money but just for comparison reasons I can toss in my stock 06 brakes into the mix

It's on Flo! That's a great idea. Once yours are done/installed it's a must...

Maybe Kris could shoot that too - Ultimate z33 brake battle.

Where is the slammered part at?

Nice video!

I was seriously waiting for bad to kick in and it become slammered or am I missing something to the name?
