JB-370z · 03-25-2010, 06:55 PM

Hey bullitt how are the brakes holding up buddy?

bullitt5897 · 03-25-2010, 08:27 PM

They are holding up FANTASTIC!!!

I have been having some fun with them thats for sure. Your gonna love yours when you get them installed!

roplusbee · 03-25-2010, 08:52 PM

I think I missed this but how much did you pay Bullitt?

JB-370z · 03-25-2010, 09:36 PM

He paid less than me because he was the g-pig and had to wait months to get them but 3.7K is on the cheap for these bad boys plus Alliance was nice enough to throw in some SS brake lines. I had mine custom powdercoated red though. I am picky.

-Bullitt what are you going to do about not being able to use your spare tire due to fitment now??? Or did you already rip that SOB out of there?

bullitt5897 · 03-26-2010, 12:24 AM

Hehehe that Lil sucker was History when I did the first track day lol I never looked back! Btw if anyone needs a spare tire I have one

bullitt5897 · 03-26-2010, 12:25 AM

The first with SSR SP3 wheels too. They will both compliment each other for sure. So they should be shipped out next week or the first week of April? Thanks Mike I will post pictures as well for you to use as sample pics for others wanting the powdercoated option. I need to buy a camera though mine broke all I have is crappy i-Phone err...

so wait, these do not fit the OEM wheels? Ie. MY stock nismo 19"ers? How much do this bad boys weigh by the way? Stock Front Rotors are 30 lbs, I know these are 15" but I imagine the rotor is lighter. I bet the caliper is heavier though.

I understand that the stock 18" spare tire won't fit.

bullitt5897 · 04-07-2010, 03:33 PM

these should fit the stock wheels with no problems

also, the rotors are easily lighter than the stock ones!!! Hey, JB you wanna weigh yours when they come in? I was in a rush to get these installed so much that once Mike dropped them off I already had the car in the air prepped and ready to get the new brakes on LOL!

negative ghostrider. the Alliance calipers, while much bigger with more pistons, are much much lighter than stock brakes or OEM sport brakes

8 piston caliper: 6.50lbs
6 piston caliper: 5.95lbs
14" rear rotor: 21.75lbs
15" front rotor: 21.00lbs

youre decreasing your unsprung weight by 33% on the rotors, and decreasing the weight of the car with the lighter calipers. what would be the point of a brake upgrade if you were increasing weights

These fit all stock wheels; if you have base 18" wheels you can fit the 14" rotor, the 19" nismo/sport can fit the 15" rotor, but all OEM wheels clear these in terms of offset

I am with ya buddy can't wait for mine to come in. Got my SSR SP3 wheels off getting high polished with clear coat and custom painted face (Graphite grey metallic) 370z color but with extra metallic and a shade darker k51 paint code modified

.
What color did you go with??

Equinox · 04-07-2010, 10:03 PM

reason I doubt the alliance calipers are lighter is that the oem calipers are even forged aluminum.
