i need brakes soon and i want to step up.

so i need some brakes and i want to step up bad but dont know what to get because brakes are not my thing. i am more of a suspention kind of guy. i need help if you guys could give me somekind of idea that would be great i was thinking about the 300z brakes rotors and calipers. i dont want to spend 2500 bucks on the bremebos because i dont have that kind of money yet. what do you think and where could i find them. thanks mike.

ps. i will be posting pics of my car soon.

BlehmCo BBK with some 6th gen rotors and some nice pads. The braking power should make you grin. (then think about Matt's rear BBK that is coming out soon... though I think it's going to be more expensive than the front kit)

I didn't want to go with big brakes either. I just couldn't justify spending the extra thousands of dollars...

I went with this set-up:

For the front:
-PowerSlot front rotors zinc plated (www.tirerack.com)
-OE Nissan pads (b/c they dust less and they've never squeeked)
-Techna-fit stainless steel brake lines (from AuToMaX_95 group deal)
-ATE Super Blue brake fluid (www.RaceShopper.com)
-Speed Bleeders (www.RaceShopper.com)

For the rear:
-Brembo zinc plated slotted rotors (from AuToMaX_95 group deal)
-OE Nissan pads
-Techna-fit stainless steel lines (from AuToMaX_95 group deal)
-ATE Super Blue brake fluid (www.RaceShopper.com)
-Speed Bleeders (www.RaceShopper.com)
