After doing more research, I'm leaning towards AP but I haven't ruled out Brembo. It appears Brembo has more of a price premium to it.

I know you're being sarcastic, but just to add a side-note...anything more than 6-piston is a complete waste and/or only for show.

As RCZ mentioned...you can't go wrong with an AP or Brembo 6-piston setup. And, not to open up a different can of worms, but try to avoid drilled-rotors.

he's right, stay away from drilled as they tend to crack.

slotted rotors are the way to go

8 pistons?

As far as I'm concerned that's 16 points of potential failure. I can't wait for the "6-bladed razor" version to come out.

:D

And that's my cranky-assed opinion.

The pads are what touch the rotor and those spread the pressure mostly evenly anyway.

And yes, I would lean towards the AP's as well. Personally, I don't think you need a BBK though...I think you just need some rotors and pads for what you are going to be doing..99% of people who buy BBK's don't need them.

Again...I cannot agree more.

It's a common misconception among the lesser-informed that BBKs actually lower stopping-distances and make for better/safer brakes on the street. That couldn't be farther from the truth (aside from extreme cases, from say 100+ to 0 MPH). To some extent, big-brakes actually increase stopping-distances on the street due to more aggressive and track-oriented pad-compounds included in the kit which work at their optimum level at higher temperatures vs. factory brakes designed to function in a wider temperature range. While cruising on the freeway for 10+ minutes with relatively cold brakes, if the need for a panic-stop were to arise...I'd rather be on stock brakes.

Big-brakes are only beneficial on the track under repetitious hard braking. After numerous laps, a proper setup should perform just as well as the first few, where as the factory brake would have been bien cuit at that point. :)

Yeah...BBKs bought solely for bling tick me off. :)

Brembo,PMU, AP, or Stop-Tech.

Brembo Mono-6 or PMU Racing 6 pot, if you want the performance and the Bling.

The AP's are more of a value. There what were running on our car and performance wise seem to be plenty for circut duty.

Lots of other options on the market to consider b4 Rotora's

:tiphat:

Why? Smoke em if you got em. If you have the money what else you are you going to spend it on? Hookers? I can't wait to ge the Z jus to put tons and tons of money into. It will get track time but willow springs is so far away and we only go 1 to 2 times a year anyway. Anyway the way I see it is it is your car and when people see a car with a BBK they always... and i mean always knock it. most of them don't have one themselves so you can figure it out on your own.

Call me crazy, but some people enjoy building wealth versus living paycheck-to-paycheck senselessly blowing "tons and tons of money" on a car.

My advice would be go for some Alcon's 6 spot brakes.

You ain't liven if it isn't paycheck to paycheck:eekdance:

On a serious note the sport brakes were more than the tires could handle in my case but then again I'm a trail braker. It's gets a little shaky up front for my liking so i would do a tire upgrade first before brakes. I here good things about the nitto NTO5's? might be NT5's not sure on that. The 1's looked like track only at least the 5's had some tread.

they are very reputable..have you seen their parts catalog?... they have stuff for virtually every make. I had them on my 350z and LOVED them..one of the best mods I had on the car..

Yeah...Everyone knows you only need 8....:rofl2:

Wow! :icon14:

Looks like they could have fit a third caliper on there but chose not to. They probably saved that for the race setup.

:iagree:

If acquiring brakes for performance, I personally suggest Endless.

Just my .02.
