Woot! Woot! I got my brake kit today!!! Ada sent me pictures:







Can't wait to get home and get this installed!!! I'm now researching track day pads: https://my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-suspension/213019-non-brembo-track-day-pad.html Thanks to GaryM05 for already giving his advice on them! I'm leaning towards the Cobalt Friction Spec VR in the front and the GT Sport in the rear.

Now I just need to get home to order my TurboXS package.

 

Bump...

 

Looks like nice stuff. I should have done rotors as well when I did my upgrade.

 

Well we'll see how well they do. Like Gary said in the other StopTech thread the biggest upgrade is most likely the lines.

 

Just had this installed last week on my Z and I love it. Really nice upgrade over stock. Enjoy

 

Let us know what you think when installed!

 

Aah, THAT'S how they looked before my first wash...

 

Awesome! Did you install the kit yourself? If so, how hard/long was the install? Looks pretty simple to me. I've done my breaks many of times just not brake lines. Has the breaking improved?


Will do! Once I get home I have 2 wks of R&R so I'll have some time to install and test them out on the street. Can't wait to get some track day pads and test it out on the track.

First glad to refresh your memory. Second are you say that the rotor rust or something???

 

Thanks bro! I'll definitely be calling asking for help. Have another buddy (Evo owner) that want to help out as well. Glad to hear Becckie & Isabel are doing well. I bet Isabel has grown a lot since the last time I saw her. Ada is doing well and I'll tell her you said "Hi." Might need you help on the suspension stuff. I'm sure she'll go for it but need the save the money first. There was a guy selling his Koni's and Eibach springs for $500 or $600 but I just don't have the funds right now. We'll definitely hit up the mountains. I have a couple buddies (Evo, STi, S2K, etc...) that want to that. Also don't know if you know there is a new shop in the Springs that has a dyno. So I think I'm going to check out this place and might start using them. Saves money and drive time to Mac, we'll see though. Stay in touch brother!!!

 

JASON: Any suggestions for an easier install? Heard something about the dust guard???

 

Good to know, Robert!

BBKs have do a way of getting that reaction from owners, don't they! With my Brembos, my only fear is stopping quicker than the guy behind me.

Looking forward to your safe arrival so you can come to the next meet and show off the kit!

 

If you want, and I recommend it, we can cut off the dust guards from around your hubs. I have the angle grinder if you need. I did mine. pretty easy and makes accessing the hub easier as well as promotes better cooling.

OK... Sounds good to me. I will need to borrow that angle grinder though.

 

good buy, those are my next upgrade after I get the exhaust.

 

Thanks! I've been eyeing this kit since I bought the car. Got a great deal on it too, $637 shipped! After the UTEC I want to upgrade the suspention (Koni struts & Eibach springs) than the exhaust (Tanabe y-pipe w/ Touring Medalion & Stillen headers).

 

Doesn't really go along w/ the brake kit but didn't feel like starting a new thread. Thanks to Zeus 350Z for the awesome price!!! Anyhow here are the pics the wife sent me:

 

I want a Nismo shift ****, but I am tried of ordering things. I wish the dealerships would just keep them in stock so when I am in the mood for an impulse buy I could have it right then!

 

The Woodman Nissan (Springs) keeps a little bit of Nismo stuff in stock for the Z.

 

Is this the Stage 2 Stop-tech kit? I'd like to know how you like it because I'm thinking of getting a set.

 

Yes this is the Stage 2 OEM kit. I've done a lot of research and pretty sure I'm going to enjoy it. I'm currently deployed so I haven't install/ drove w/ the kit on. There are a lot of thread out there where other people have given reviews about the kit. Just search.
