Did you just do the front brakes?

Brakes look good, but I'm not feelin' those wheels whatsoever....especially on the Z.

Congrats though....I know how good it feels to get new stuff done to your ride.

Ditto!! Don't like the wheels but I love the breaks and rotors. How much did the breaks set you back?

Thanks for the compliments guys! The match of the wheel paint to my chrome silver paint is truly PHENOMINAL!!! I finally saw it today in the bright Sun Light and Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn does it look AWESOME! To answer a few questions: This particular kit was a "one-off" (their largest kit available) and I took a chance of it even fitting! But if you know me, then you know, "Bigger Is Better" in my book. Due to an agreement with them, my pricing was special and therefore I can not divulge this particular setup (I set them up with 2 shops/potential large volume clients) HOWEVER, I believe in 'hooking' people up when I can (that's what it's all about) and I am prepared to organize a "Special Pricing" from StopTech for those of you interested. And DrDrillz is 100% correct: I am a "Show Car" person and could care less to race or track my cars. I am quite surprised (but not concerned) about some of you not feelin my wheels? It's all good baby! I have received great compliments from 3 local memebers and my wife and I went to the grocery store and it was completely CRAZY the compliments and inquries I received (and will no doubt continue to receive). About the tire & wheel dimension: Dude you're joking right?
Surely everyone has at least looked at my INFAMOUS "Wheel & Tire" thread in the Modification section? (over 18 pages long!!!) If not, I highly reccommend you check it out, it's amazingly informative! Plus check out my signature you'll see my latest mods.

Here's more pics from today out in front of my house with Skidazzle & Droidekaus!!!

i take offense to that, dude... i live literally 4 miles from marcus, in a similar style neighborhood...

sorry we dont have the variations here in north dallas as you have in your neighborhood... you know, double-wides, triple-wides, and your lowly single-wide....

I skipped work today and tried to pimp wit the big ballers. Sadly, I failed with my stock wheels, stock brakes and not even any shine on the tires. Take a good look people. The droid's car in that sad a shape is a rare site indeed.

I have a StopTech front brake kit for my 2002 WRX, and I couldn't be happier with improvement in the Subaru's stopping power. StopTech is a great, customer friendly company. Tech support from StopTech's Matt Weiss is an educational process in itself.

One concern I have about the StopTech upgrade is that Sport Compact Car (Oct 02) actually showed that the stock brakes worked BETTER than the StopTechs ( 113 ft from 60mph vs 119ft.)

What has StopTech done to improve their 350Z kit? Are they using their 332mm rotor or 350mm rotor? Did they solve the rear bias problem they had with the prototype system?

My advice for those who truly appreciate great brakes: BUY THE TRACK MODEL. The factory tested and balanced system is a bargain for its price.

Default real Texas STYLE...

Your mods are "not my cup of tea"... as the old expression goes.. BUT.....

I like your style... and almost anyone's style who appreciate great cars.. love cars.. take great care of their cars... customize cars... race cars, think of cars all day...

I love cars... and especially this Z...

Also... I like your neighborhood.. talk about sameness of houses..

-- expensive house... I will later post pictures of the house I live in Japan.. nice... great area... but like a mirror of what is around me.
