I have read numerous of articles explaining how installing a BBK will affect the overall brake bias in which leads to less efficient braking performance (takes longer distance to stop comparing to stock). At the same time, I have read a lot of threads here stating how upgrading to BBK have improved braking. Now my stock brakes have gone to cr@p! It just doesnt stop like it used to stop. I'm thinking about upgrading to the z32/13" cobra upgrade or the 6th genner upgrade. Or am I better off sticking with stocks w/ hawk hps? I'm a little confused as of the how much improvement or more like bling bling to go w/ bbk.

 

bigger brakes will not decrease braking

BBK is not for looks

 

Are your brake pads worn? If they still have usable material, I'd flush the brake fluid before changing any components.

 

i did the 6th gen upgrade with the hawk pads, big difference in stopping

 

I absolutely love my BBK, it's pretty plus it 0 vibration time after time. Impossible to make these guys warp. I went with SS corp BBK fitment was a little bit of a pain but not too bad. Unlike stock brakes, these guys will stop full force over and over with out losing performance, which is the point. Stock brakes would lose performance after just a couple of hard stops.

 

BBK setup with the 30MM 300ZX calipers stops on a dime, but get ready for a trial and error install. There is alot of hardware you need besides the rings, rotors and calipers and lines.

 

Is there a weblink for the SS Corp BBK kit?

Overall, the lower cost of the 6th gen brake upgrade for a 5th gen maxima plus the fact its a nissan caliper so you can get nissan pads (which has a huge selection in the aftermarket) I am looking at doing that myself.
