Default Prototype Big Brake kit - We need your help

HI, my name is Jeff and I'm a vendor on this forum. One of my friend is based out of Southern Cali and he is looking to make 2 kits for the 350z. A forged 4 pistons kit and a 6 pistons kit. Both will be made to fit the stock wheels. His company is called Brake Zone and they will be using the Wilwood brake calipers. They have a high reputation on working with other cars such as the s2000 and many other import cars. They need a car to be the prototype and the volunteer will get great discount on this part. If you are interested, give him a call and speak to him in details.

Brakezone - Sherwin
818-781-7777



Thx

Jeff - Evolution

I spoke with Sherwin about this... he's a great guy! Very friendly and knows what he's talking about.

Unfortunately, he's in the San Fernando Valley area... TOO far from where I live.

I just called Sherwin as well.

Very nice guy... I've dealt with him before with a Acura 3.2 CL his company did a big-brake kit for that CL as well.

If it's a couple of hours I can probably take some time out of the day to have him prototype it.

Yeah, but Brake Zone is one of the biggest Wilwood guys in the country. And they will be offering it at a cheaper price.

Jeff@Evolution.

Thanks for posting... Otherwise I would have forgotten to call Sherwin this week..

Hopefully I can nail down a time with him to spec out the car.
