New Brakes Installed!
New Brakes Installed!
Well I finally got my brakes installed. Bought everything of the GD from AuToMax95 for $400.

I decided to go silver on the calipers for a clean look. I also added the Nissan logos to the fronts.
They look and feel goooood:

They're zinc plated "military spec" so hopefully I won't have any problems.
Thanks!
Looking good I think I will be hitting him for that set up myself. Where did you get the stickers from and can they withstand the heat? 400 isn't bad at all for that with everything included. Did you put the brakes on yourself? Also what type of primer and paint did you use on the calipers? You did one helluva job.

The sticker came from here, and they are high temp resistant:

(got them in like 4 days)
No, I had the brakes put on and the calipers painted ($120)
I bought the paint kit for $25, cheaper than shown here but here's a link:

Corey chose well for his West Coast sponsoree.
I can't wait to get my AuToMax95 rotors and pads on. Everyone I know loves them.

Can you give me a refresher on what I need to be doing? Thxs!
I thought it was on the box, something about going up to 40 then stopping several times. i know some were more prone to fade and warping since they didn't do this right away.

Thanks Nismo, I think I did that in traffic on the way home!!! It might be late now but I'll do exactly that in the morning...
So I am getting a weird rubbing sound when I turn to the left (either slightly or full turn) Not a constant rub, more intermittent like it's one spot somewhere in the rotation of the wheel. More evident when I apply the brakes but I've heard it with out the brakes applied as well. Anyone have any ideas? Pretty new to the brake deal, hopefully it's just break in noises!!
Any info would be appreciated...

I was just looking at old pics of my car pre-brakes. Damn I can't believe the difference, this might be one of the best mods I have done!!! Check it:

Just thought I'd share...

Amazing what some paint and stickers will do. I get many compliments from my red brakes and gold decals. It funny, cuz some of my cheapest mods gets the most attention. The tinted tails, painted headlight chrome, and painted brakes maybe cost me altogether $60 (not including my extensive labor) but yield the most compliments.
Just thought I'd give an update on the brakes, it's been about 2 1/2 months with no problems whatsoever. The caliper paint and stickers have held up perfectly as well. There is some brake dust but very minor, and as you can see from post #26 above, the difference in look (not to mention the performance) alone makes it worth it!!
Here's some updated pics with my new wheels:
