6th gen brake upgrade.

it was time for new brakes and my rotors were looking pretty worn and noisey ( had them on for 2 years ) . so I went on ebay just to check if I could find 6th gen calipers used and I found a set that came with the brackets for $60 with free shipping, 2 rotors $66 and ceramic pads for $28. sand blasting for the calipers were $40 and $10 for caliper paint.


I spent around $204.00 all together.


everything was a perfect fit on my 02 with 18" 350Z touring wheels. these wheels have tons of brake space. bleeding the brakes weren't as difficult as other posts make it out to be....

Why not just get lifetime warranty ceramic pads locally from a parts store?

It would be the last set of pads you'll ever pay for...

that way you can get slotted or drill or both and not worry about the rotor eating thru them and spending a fortune replacing pads

Looks great. That's one of the better upgrades for these cars, cheap too.
