Upgrading to Stillen Pads+Rotors

TK2013 · 07-18-2015, 12:46 PM

Hey Everyone, I spent a good amount of time looking for some in depth reviews or information here about pads, rotors, etc. I've been working with Stillen since I purchased my Z, and have decided to order their Metal Matrix Pads, and Cross Drilled & Slotted rotors along with the upgraded steel brake line. I will post pictures and some reviews later! Hope this will help others.

Current Mods:
Stillen Super Charger Kit* With High Altitude Pulley (9lb)
Stillen Crank Pulley
Stillen Cat Back Exhaust

Goal is to have install performed by July 24th

if anyone has questions hit me up.

Update; Stillen was 100% on time with the parts being dropped off today, install will be in on Monday

Will have pictures once the install is complete!

Alright so the update and review took a little longer then expected! I apologize!

Dean at Stillen was pretty awesome! Over all great experience, everything was shipped very promptly! We did run into an issue with the front brake lines, (The 2013 early builds (9/12) didn't fit the same!) however after contacting Stillen, they handled everything swiftly, even next day shipping to the repair shop.

Still in the brake in period so cant do anything extreme yet. I will post some pictures shortly, but everything looks and feels great thus far. Very good shopping experience

As always, with my experience they have been top notch, from the Super Charger purchase and everything so far in between.

Thank You!

So far, I haven't had much issues with the kit its self. Only issue I have ran into is living at 5500ft and not having a local dyno, even with that Stillen has been great with support and trying to help with anything I've needed.. I think people tend to force their views or thoughts onto others without first hand experience (I may be wrong in this case) but who knows. I can say that the car drives amazing and no issues, and Nissan had any issues with my OEM warranty etc, even with the super charger installed.
P.s.
I've had the Super Charger installed for about 18,000 miles.

So how are the Stillen Rotors/Breaks???

Hardly worth the review... stillen doesn't make brake pads / rotors. They buy somebody elses and slap their name on them. Callahan Auto anyone???

Rotors will not affect a car's performance until you are on the race track.
Pads however, might be worth a review.

Whacha got?
