What type of brakes for my 370Z 2014

Flyboy9x · 05-25-2016, 08:31 PM

I have a beautiful red touring and can't believe that Nissan didn't at least paint the brake pads as they are viewable from the outside. Can anyone suggest a red brake pad with maybe better stopping power than the factory OEM part?

Thanks,
Tony

Do you mean the brake calipers? If so, just buy a set of Sport package brakes.

Yes the callipers, is there a better aftermarket set that I can purchase that may be better than the sport version?

If you have the base brakes, the sport calipers are a major upgrade. If you already have the sport brakes, just get better pads. Anything else is overkill unless you track the car.

Unfortunately I have the base brakes, what do you suggest to improve appearance without breaking the bank?

Appearance? Nothing. Maybe paint them?

If you watch the classifieds here, you can find sport brakes for fairly reasonable prices.
