Best BBK kit for the buck?
 

I'm looking to upgrade the stock breaks (no sport package) and I was wondering what the best BBK out there is for a good price. The sport package is $4000 here in Canada and it just wasn't worth it considering how I am replacing the wheels and spoiler.

It's over half here in the USA, Maybe mail order it from COZ or Z1 and have it installed there?

Check out the AP Racing one?

Here's a link to our Akebono's -- Sport and the Red 40th Anniversary Calipers

And our AP Racing BBK's

Big Brake Kits

We can get a set of AP racing for around 3200 full set

jamaica the ap racing full set is that with 6 piston front and 4 piston rear?

Jamaica, is that with the 1 or 2 piece rotors?

seems we have some interest in this! pm me what i can get for 3200 jamaica. thanks in advance!

Not bad...not ready to buy yet, but will have to remember that for when I am...6 piston front, 4 piston rear, I hope.

my correction. I actually called it in and the price has raised for both AP Racing and Stoptech

3200 for a full set of ap would be insane if true

no the correct price is around 3700-3800 for 6/4 piston

How about a group buy for $3200 for 6/4 since you already mentioned $3200? :stirthepot:

sure get five on the list.

Are you serious? :excited: :bowdown: How about including shipping too for our Canadian friends?

Get five and ill include shipping to US and CANADA only

hmmm very interesting... does it need to be five Canadian members?

:excited:

damnnnn hahah

very interested for 3200! :D

I like the stoptech brake kits, wish I could afford them right now

Was this groupbuy a spur of the moment thing or is it really gonna happen?

Scott, why do you not offer the 6 pot AP racing for the 370Z? As my car is coming from your dealership, it would be convenient to have that done before I pick it up.

Have no fear...i can get you the 6 pots! And that can definately be arranged for ya! I will have them on the site within the hour ;)

Scott

The AP's are definitely the best bang for the buck as BBK's go.

I am strongly considering upgrading to the AP if the price is right!

Could you send me a PM with quote for 6/4 AP with 2-piece non-float rotors and SS lines (if they are not already included in the kit).

Thanks!

Pm'd ya!

The rates for the AP racing and Brembo went up 7%. It seems like everything on the market is going up.

I think there are additional benefits of the sport package though... isn't the full viscous LSD only from the sport? I thought that and maybe SyncRev was a sport only option.

jamaica could you pm the price of the AP front 6 pot and rear 4 pot. thanks!

Pics and weight on these also please sir.:tup:

Yeah, that's right. SynchroRev is really the only thing I really want. And I guess it's not bad to at least start out with the larger brakes.

The sport package is $4000 here in Canada, its not worth it.

I'll be going the cheaper route of 4th anniversary Akebonos for about $1.7k

I've always liked stoptechs for some reason. I only read good things about them

I love my Stoptech Trophy system, but it has no business being in a bang for the buck comparison!

Agreed, stoptechs are badass but these are almost half the price.

A plus about the AP Racing besides the affordability (compared to other BBKs on the market) is the fact that the rotors aren't that much larger than the stock rotors to require 19" wheels, so you can still run 18" wheels (lighter and bigger tire selection).

That's good to know, plus if you get a flat tire you can use your spare.

you can get stoptechs with a smaller front rotor also for 18s, thats what I did.
