another BBK with pics (56k warning)
Finally got everything installed. Decided to go with the unpainted metal look on the calipers (my cars such a mess anyways). The stopping power is incredible! I guess I'll have to get better tires now.
15mm spacers on the front, the wheels are now sitting even with the fender lip. Looks so mean. Sorry the pics aren't great and the cars so dirty. I've also got 25mm spacers for the rear, to even it out.

stock 300zx rotors milled down to fit no caliper brackets needed....

alignment on the front was fine, I'll install the 25mm on the back in about 20 minutes here. handeling.... can't really tell too much, but I havn't been able to really get on it yet, I still need to bed those pads in.
And yes, they are Brembo Cobra rotors with Hawk HPS pads. They really bite, I'm not even sure I'd want the HP+ or anything like that.
edit** oh, and as far as price I guess it came out to about $550 including the front spacers which were about $80.

no i meant 2 options for rotor sizes either
13" Cobras or 12.6" maxima 04/05 both with 300zx calipers but require special brackets either form Jeff92se or matt93se
u cna use stock Z rotors w/300z calipers but the radius has to be milled down for u not to use special brackets

they look incredible! although, it would be nice to have something in the back just to balance it out a bit. but i know that the performance gain is from the front.
also, that seems like an INCREDIBLE price for the entire job! i haven't researched it much, i was expecting it was more like $800ish.

Congrats for getting rid of the stock junk brakes. Any reason for not using a real upgrade kit, instead stock parts from other cars? And the slots should point forward, as i think those rotors don't have directional fins inside.
I want to change my brakes, but not if i am gonna need spacers. My wheels already are flush with the fenders.

yeah, they're stock z32 calipers. maybe the aluminum ones look different from these heavy *** cast iron or whatever they are cals that I got.
yeah, and there was no way I was payin $1600 or so for a "real" big brake kit. this is just as effective if not more (arent the brembo kits only 12.4" rotors or somethin like that?)
I'm pretty sure the slots should face the way they're faceing.... but I guess I'm not really sure. can anyone tell me otherwise?

It looks like you have the iron versions. Nice to see you got it done though.
