Stillen 370Z Front Brake Cooling Kit

thats for the stillen bumper version. If you go through the option and do stock, its 291 Chris.

Alex, they sold a lot more than they thought they would really quick and the hoses are on backorder on their end.

Well damn! Just send me the hub and fascia brackets and I'll find the hoses somewhere else!

Haha, that's why when I noticed them for sale, I placed my order before I bumped any threads about them

I apologize for the delay in getting the second batch of kits out guys. As I told Mike. I was actually in charge of this project and to be honest, had no idea how popular they'd be! We will be getting more hose in this coming week according to our vendor. I'll chase it up on Monday and see how we're looking.

Thank you very much for your patience!

This is probably mod of the year IMO.

Heck, there was a group buy for G3s at one point... :P

Good news everyone! The hoses are on their way, we have tracking information. We're expecting them to arrive on Thursday. As soon as they arrive they will be re-packaged with the necessary hardware and will get right back on the truck heading out to you.

Received my kit yesterday and installed it today. Very nice little kit...just what you need to get the job done. I didn't need any of the shims for the hub mounting plates, but I could have used a few more zip ties.

The only part of the job that turned out to be a PITA (there's always one step that is) was removing the hub. Everyone beware that your hub may be corroded a bit and stuck on there like crazy. I removed the four bolts and she didn't budge on either side. A trip to Autozone and a rental slide hammer got'er done. Plan on four hours for the install and minimal frustration (but get a slide hammer!) if you have all the tools and have done most of the steps before (fascia removal, caliper/rotor removal, etc). If you've never done any of it before, double that time estimate and prepare to be frustrated.

And for what it's worth, don't do a little drive around town and then touch the front rotor thinking it's going to be cool because of the new ducting. It'll still burn you. (I may have touched the rotor

)

Nice. Yea my hub about fell out after removing the last bolt. But my car is only a year old and garaged, so maybe that helps a little.
