question about brakes and NOS

whats up everyone... didnt post here for a while...
well i got a couple of questions...
1- i got 26000 miles and i wanna change my brakes already... i wanna get new pads rotors and stainless steel lines... what pads do u guys recomend me to get... i drive agresivly... and also which rotors... i want cross drilled.. but i also dont want them to be expensive (stealin) i know phoung sells brakes but anyone know anyone cheaper or with a better deal to get everything at once? lemme know

2- I wanna get NOS as i always did... but with a little bit more money in my pocket now it seems like it is getting closer to a reality... the question is now which kit... NOS? NX? ZEX? EDELBROCK? lemme know which is the best for the money... i always wanted NOS for its simplicity of installation but i heard ZEX is the safest (y i dont know) i can get a ZEX kit for a decent price... if anyone knows where i could buy these discounted lemme know too... and also i heard that something has to be done to the car or the ZEX kit for it to be installed that doesnt have to be done if u use NOS... well lemme know guys i wanna get this crap already hehe

thanks a lot

Re: question about brakes and NOS

Hey danny,
yeah man , where is your sig?

About the brakes, have you considered doing the 300ZX upgrade?

the guy who owns the ZAPCO maxima has new rotors, lines, pads, calipers. the whole deal. no pics yet.

got rice at GR racing has a deal for 5gen brake kits, pads, rotors, lines and fluid for under $600.

As for Nitrous, how much do you want to run. I don't think you can upgrade the ZEX kit over 75hp.

I would recoment the NOS kit. I did a lot of research and thats what I'm getting. ZEX might be good to play with first if you can get it real cheap?

Zex's kit was proven good in 5th gens. it was tested in a past import tunner.
