Big brakes stop well and make me happy

Sorry for the black and white. My sister got a hold of my camera and changed my settings. I didn't notice till I got back inside and by then I didn't feel like going back out to take more pics.. lol

I got 6th gen drilled rotors and aftermarket 6th gen calipers with ceramic pads. Everything bolted right up. I had to drill out the mounting holes on the steering knuckle to 9/16ths(14mm) and cut off the dust shields but besides that it went smoothly. In time when I have more money I might get 350Z 4 piston calipers.

Nice brake setup, I look forward to installing a similar setup myself. How long did it take you and how much did it end up costing you if you don't mind me asking?

You are using 4th gen torque member then? What size are those rotors?

If they're 6th gen, they're 12.6" x 1.1"

i'd assume 6th gen TM, since he had to drill out the steering knuckle to 14mm so it would all bolt up

I'm using the stock torque member. I had to drill the mounting holes out to fit the new bolts. They're the 6th gen size so 12.6 x 1.1 as stated above ^
Rotors: $100(ebay)
Loaded Calipers: $150ish(Napa)
Ceramic Pads: $70(Napa)
