Hey guys i've searched the Forum for BBK (Big Brake Kits) answers but they're very limited. Or my search skills need to be sharpened..

Sooo i found a thread online about the 350Z/G35 BBK can be used on the 7th Gen.

this kit -> https://www.z1motorsports.com/z1-pro...ar-p-4626.html

is it possible to work on our cars?

The post that i saw reads that we need a 20mm spacer in order for the stock 18s wheels to clear.

I know AP performance has some kits but its $1900 US for the rear and $2400 US for the front.. i'm in Canada that's over 6000CDN lol that's crazy.

Stock brakes and rotors just dont have the look and performance .. at least a 4 piston caliper would be great.

any thoughts?

If you are only driving your car on the street then a BBK is unnecessary and, IMO, a waste of money. Stock brakes are work perfectly fine for the street.
Tracking your car? Then that's different, but 6000CDN is crazy talk for street use.

lol i agree thats crazy.. i however dont mind spending $1500CDN $1200US on brakes that look and feel nice

And also if the 350Z brembo originals work .. that would mean scrap yards here i
come!! 14in Rotors? that would look nice with 22in wheels

Much better thens you can spend on that car IMO.. If you told use you were going to turbo your car and you want a BBK then sure... Good luck either way

Maximadrvr has an awesome DIY thread of on her with quality pictures. Just look for it.

In truth, I would have to agree with the others that it's really a waste of money unless you've already completed every other mod and you're just going for style points.

IN the time it took for you to ask me to find and post it, you could have used the search feature and found it for yourself.
