www.fastbrakes.com tested and reviewed. Data inside. 4g Maximas and possibly 5g!!
 

Disclaimer: the following results are tested on my car only. Please to not expect to see similar results, even if you have the EXACT same setup.
These are for comparison basis only and are not set in stone. these results were as close to being accurate as possible. There may be some variance in a few feet (ie. 1-4 feet). Blah blah, and blah.

This kit is also available for 4G Maximas and might possibly work with 5G Maximas. however, a Honda CRX was used to test the kit. Similar results should be gathered with the Maxima Kit.

Test Vehicle:
1990 Honda CRX HF
'89 Si Master Cylinder
'89 Si Prop. Valve
'89 Si Calipers/Brakes/Rotors (front) (9.5" rotors; Single piston)
'89 Si calibers/DRUMS/pads
Russel Stainless Steel brake lines
Motul 600 Dot 4 Brake fluid
'90 HF Brake Booster

Est. Weight of vehicle - 1950lbs w/ full tank.
Tires - Fronts - Kuhmo Supras (1000miles on tires) - Rears - Nitto 450s (virtually bald) - Tire PSI = 42

60-0 Testing (with 5mins elasped):
Test 1 - 132'
Test 2 - 144'
Test 3 - 164'

I attempted to threshhold brake as best as I could, the third test just locked them up and couldn't get the car to stop any faster. Fade was largely
present.
--------------------------------
Fastbrake Kit (front only; still on rear drums)

11" Rotors
4 Piston Wilwood Calipers
EBC RED (race) pads
Goodridge stainless steel lines
Motul 600 brake fluid

60-0 Testing (5mins elasped):
Test 1 - 103'
Test 2 - 106'
Test 3 - 108'

The pedal effort is significantly reduced to get the car to stop. Fade is almost non-existent, but, I will have to find out this weekend during the
open track to garner a better idea of how well it does. The kit is beautiful and looks great sitting behind the street rims (16x7). I did have to get
some wheel spacers for my race tires to fit (15x7.5 BBS Rims)...not a problem, my neighbor had some for me to borrow.

Total time of installation is around 3hrs, including bleeding time. I had a problem with my driver side knuckle, the brake bracket tabs are bent
and I had to figure out a way to make the Wilwood kit work properly.

The only problem I ran into (aside the race rims) is the bleeder screws...they're quite tiny making bleeding them by conventional means a bit
difficult.

Kit price is around $700.

I believe once the pads get set in properly, the 60-0 distance will decrease and it'll be significantly less on race tires (kumho v700s, in my case).

Overall, the kit LOOKS beautiful, responds great!, and I'll see how they work on a track this weekend.

thanks to Brian at www.fastbrakes.com

my displacment is bigger than yours.. and white rims are gay

SO are white cars

This is fine and dandy, but until I see some numbers on a car as heavy as a Maxima (even if it's not a Maxima) then these numbers basically mean nothing.

You simply can't compare these numbers to what a Maxima would do with one one of their kits, there are too many variables.

Yes and No.

that's why I posted stock braking distances and modified braking distances. Granted, a 3000lb Maxima may not get the +30' decrease in stopping distances, it will however decrease brake fade, which will increase lap times.

My 5g Maxima had a good wealth of brake fade after about 3-4 laps of 80-40mph braking zones. I had 18s to help cooling too..

the kit is MUCH better than the AEM "big brake" kit and much cheaper than the Stealin kit. So...

you ignoring me bish :mad:

I got my brakes from Brian and I'm very happy with them. I know lots of honda guys who have gotten them from him as well.

:mad: :mad: :mad:

What's your prob? :mad: :mad:

Kevlo & I don't concur! You should append your statement to the likes of "Sprintmax's white car" ... just a suggestion!

Sprint, don't you get mad at me now :kiss:
