Brake Upgrade for reasonable $

[KoichiImpul33]

Hi guys.

Need some advise.

I'm planning to upgrade my front brakes. I'm driving a very basic 350z with standard 2 piston calipers at the front wheel.

I think this car needs a 4 or 6 piston caliper and >14 inch rotors as the standard one takes too long a distance to come to standstill.

Any ideas what brand is good and where to have them installed?

Thanks!

mayb can check out Grippen brake kit.... i think the price quite reasonable as well....

 

[sam1741]

the most direct way to upgrade is to change to better brake pad
or u can also DIY brainded hose (check DIY forum)

but u driving the fairlady..
sure got money to go for better option..

mayb can get GTR brembo brake set...

btw, what brake set ur fairlady is using??...

 

[fstr]

opt for AP calipers, 6 - 8 pot also got.

grippen 4 pot front two pot back will do i reckon
pad u can survey for ebc,endless.. which pad is better is actually subjective to individual only way to is to try out a few and go for the one u feel the best.

yes 4 to 6 pot caliper...go for Alcon brake or AP brake...all running on individual brake pads....more braking power and more lighter compare to grippen brake...

braking power is more even in control in individual pads.....

Brakes for 350z

Hi guys,

Thanks for the suggestions.

Went to chop shop last saturday, got quote for Evo7 Brembos front alone cost around RM4k plus...wahh...summore I have to modify the bracket bla bla...wahh...

I was looking around for BNR34 brake kit, but someppl say the price is equivalent to a half cut..true or not I dunno la. How much does the R34 brake kit cost, the orig. one?

4 piston caliper is good, of course 6 pot better la, but end of the day, it boils down to the $ and cents.

My braking system now is not the brembo one, this is the basic one...and takes miles to come to a standstill...hahaha

no budget, change the pad 1st....

 

[faisal]

First Upgrade (and cheapest too) is always better pads , fluid and braided hoses.

If all else fails then change to monster calipers.....

brake upgrade

yes, I think Faizal's suggestion and some of u guys are right abt changing the pads and fluid and hose 1st. I might just try that. I'm sure the braking distance would improve.

Thanks!!!!
