i doubt that i'm going to be a guinea pig for this product since i reached my spending limit on the car for this year. maybe someone else cn give it a try, pricewise they run about $199. on ebay, $299. for the carbon fiber.

CALIPER COVERS

 

hmmm...I wonder if any negative effects ( heat buildup, etc) could happen from mounting these...

 

maybe youll get less dust on the rims? very creative, plus1 on the heat build up

 

they claim there is no heat build up. but i'll wait for someone else to try it.

 

This is more of a Bling Mod.. Not really performance mod...

 

If you just want a caliper cover...they have some on eBay that say brembo, nissan, nothing, etc. in different colors that look just like 4 piston monoblock calipers. And they're a whole hell of a lot cheaper.

Most will say that it's rice to use those covers...frankly I don't really see the difference between using a caliper cover and painting the actual calipers. They both attract attention to your brakes without any benefit...just one has the potential to look better.

 

I think thay actually look pretty cool! Dont think I'm willing to spend $300 for a mod like this though.

I think I would much rather put $300 towards an actuall BBK. Painted 300z-tt four pots would look really nice too, and there are other bebefits inherent with this as well

Also, a lot of stock brakes are very close to the wheel spokes. I wonder how far these protrude from the calipers.

 

I found it on ebay but its a hell of alot of money

Yeah, but that's for front and rear. Just the front is half that price.

I still agree though, it's a lot of money for what they are.


I'm with you, that's why I upgraded to 6th gen rotors and calipers. I wanted the 300zx calipers, but they wouldn't fit behind my stock wheels without an ungodly amount of spacer.

And you're right about not having much room behind the stock wheel spokes. Kings, however, has G35 wheels. Those should be able to fit 300zx calipers without a problem. Which, come to think of it, kings, you're not too far off from Blehmco's 300zx caliper + 12.6" 6th gen rotor kit at that price.
