Default Got my StopTech Big brake Kit On!

Looks great, and stops hard! 14" front, 13" rears, slotted, zinc coated, 4 piston front, 2 piston rear, stainless steel lines, and high performance street pads and brake fluid, still uses the stock e-brake, and it all works great. Very happy with it, now I just need to go back to the track, and do more than 3 laps, which is when my stock brakes started to fade hard.

On a side note, in one of the pics, you can see kind of a oil gleam on the lip of my RS-721's, sort of blurred, but it's there. That part looks like chrome, but I have tried metal polish to get it shiny again, and that hasn't worked; anyone have any ideas of how to clean and shine that part of the wheel, the lip?

Yeah, most of the work on my car (except the JWT TT kit and tuning) I've done myself, but I decided to have the install done at the same shop that did my JWT kit, because I didn't want to die, when I messed something up and my brakes went out...

Maybe you should read his sig: 2005 Infiniti G35 6MT Coupe Black/Black JWT TT Also I plan on doing the 14" 6-piston front/ 4-piston rear kit before I purchase the JWT kit. I like the insurance I'm going to have the stopping power with a BBK vs just oem when I'm boosted.

Yep, so like Robert said, I've got both...

And the black calipers with a black G does look nice!
