What is the estimated cost of that 4 piston rear setup in development and what is the realistic date on the release of the kit. Is it on the drawing board or on a car testing?

Havnt even got the front yet and still itching for more. You guys are never satisfied

The rear kit is indeed in development. Prototypes should be up and running within the next few weeks. I expect the first batch to begin shipping towards the end of March.

We have not finalized the costs yet but expect it to be similar to the front kit. As some of you know, the 350Z uses an internal parking brake assembly on the rear disc. Basically, the rear rotor acts as a drum housing the emergency shoe inside. This makes machining the hat much more difficult and more expensive. We are also using the same external body for the rear caliper. The front and rear calipers will look identical physically but will be different internally.

Stay tuned, I will give you guys an update with pics as soon as I have them available...

Just to teaze you a bit. This is another kit we recenlty finished for the E46 M3. The 14" 350Z kit will be identical. 14" front and 14" rear rotors with matching calipers.

Default Need Help!

hi Jeff,

I'm at the shop right now (stage motorsports) and am having a problem. One of the stainless steel brake lines has a crack and is leaking fluid (mechanic says). Can you please give me a call and send a brake line set ASAP... (I was hoping to get them install before next week's track event at Thunderhill).

thanks,
rob
