Best option?
Hey guys,
I've been wanting to upgrade my brakes for a while now, (from base model) and have been considering just upping to the sports package model. That being said, if I can't find a set of used sports package brakes, I'll have to buy an upgrade kit, which will run me about 2k. Is that my best option at that price range? Is there anything else I could replace them with instead? |

I believe RCZ is looking to sell his sport brakes. I would give him a pm. Maybe give you a good deal since he wants to upgrade for a more track setup.

I'm about to purchase a base model here soon enough and I'm flirting with just going with a BBK(AP kit) up front only for the mean time. Then I'll eventually get rears when I go FI. I have a good size budget I'm working with but trying to utilize the most out of it.

Have you looked here: Z1 Akebono Sport Brake Upgrade Package
It would be cheaper to stick around the classifieds and find a used set though. Good luck either way!

There is no better Brake upgrade for the money than the Sport package brakes. These are still new so it might be really hard finding them used just yet. But for around 2K or less you can get them brand new. Best part is that all parts are OEM and easily found at ANY Nissan or Infiniti dealership!
PM me for ultra low pricing on the upgrade, we can take care of you if you decide to go this route. The only other thing you can do for a full 4 wheel kit in this price range is simply to upgrade the rotors, pads, and lines. Not a Big Brake upgrade by any means, but approx $700-850 depending on brand etc. I've done many Sport model upgrades, if you need to pick my brain a bit, just message or email me |
