Finally got everything installed. Decided to go with the unpainted metal look on the calipers (my cars such a mess anyways). The stopping power is incredible! I guess I'll have to get better tires now.




15mm spacers on the front, the wheels are now sitting even with the fender lip. Looks so mean. Sorry the pics aren't great and the cars so dirty. I've also got 25mm spacers for the rear, to even it out.

 

Looks real nice.

Do the spacers mess up the alignment? Do they increase handling?


How much did it cost you for BBK?

 

Cobra rotors?

 

how do you get those nissan calipers, i've been wanting them but i'm assuming you cant just get them for the stock sized rotors?
nice wheels mayn

 

13" cobra rotors
12.6" 04/05 maxima rotors
both need special brackets available on the org just ask Jeff92se and matt93se

stock 300zx rotors milled down to fit no caliper brackets needed....

 

alignment on the front was fine, I'll install the 25mm on the back in about 20 minutes here. handeling.... can't really tell too much, but I havn't been able to really get on it yet, I still need to bed those pads in.
And yes, they are Brembo Cobra rotors with Hawk HPS pads. They really bite, I'm not even sure I'd want the HP+ or anything like that.


edit** oh, and as far as price I guess it came out to about $550 including the front spacers which were about $80.

 

i thought u meant 5mm in the rear 25mm...WOW thats thick.....but i guess they work

 

looks sweet man! so the 13" cobras are on the front and the 12.6" in 04/05 in the back? and did you mean stock 300zx calipers and not rotors?

 

no i meant 2 options for rotor sizes either
13" Cobras or 12.6" maxima 04/05 both with 300zx calipers but require special brackets either form Jeff92se or matt93se

u cna use stock Z rotors w/300z calipers but the radius has to be milled down for u not to use special brackets

 

hmm i'm gonna check into it, thanks for the info

 

BBK looks great!!

 

looks real nice .... where did you get your parts ?

 

Very nice, they look good.

 

cant wait until i get my kit doen and installed. looks nice.

 

me too.....

 

Nice.

What're the size/width and offset of the 5Zigens?

 

17x8 with 42mm offset, hence the need for 15mm and 25mm spacers

 

Shoulda gotten the aluminum ones...

ALU>Iron

 

quick question black...do u have a cf hood?....

 

they look incredible! although, it would be nice to have something in the back just to balance it out a bit. but i know that the performance gain is from the front.

also, that seems like an INCREDIBLE price for the entire job! i haven't researched it much, i was expecting it was more like $800ish.

 

damn thats exactly what i need to drool over right now !

 

Congrats for getting rid of the stock junk brakes. Any reason for not using a real upgrade kit, instead stock parts from other cars? And the slots should point forward, as i think those rotors don't have directional fins inside.
I want to change my brakes, but not if i am gonna need spacers. My wheels already are flush with the fenders.

 

cheaper and just as effective....did i mention cheaper to get parts...like u need a rotor foroa brembo kit u pay out the *** as where u use cobra or 04 maxima rotors u can goto autozone and get one for 20 bux...same with pads....calipers are expensive not matter what but OEM Nissan = less expesnive than brembo/wilwood/stillen calipers would ever be if u needed to replace them

 

looks good, but for some reason, those calipers look different from mine.,
are those from a 300zx?

 

yeah, they're stock z32 calipers. maybe the aluminum ones look different from these heavy *** cast iron or whatever they are cals that I got.
yeah, and there was no way I was payin $1600 or so for a "real" big brake kit. this is just as effective if not more (arent the brembo kits only 12.4" rotors or somethin like that?)
I'm pretty sure the slots should face the way they're faceing.... but I guess I'm not really sure. can anyone tell me otherwise?

 

It looks like you have the iron versions. Nice to see you got it done though.

 

yeah, thanks Jeff for the help on the rings and brackets and what not

oh and I got the rear 25mm spacers on. Evens it out perfectly. I wish I had smaller offset wheels though

 

looks sweet....

 

Are your front rotors reversed?

 

You might wanna send the dude a PM instead of bumping a year old thread.

 

Or I might not.
