Update... Little progress on the installs today, but I've decided on wheels / tires (I THINK !)... going with old style Advan RS + Toyo R888s... here's a pic I grabbed off the photoshop thread of what it should look like
I have a few requests out for quotes, any vendors that read this are welcome to drop me a quote... 18x9, 18x10 with 29 and 25 offsets... 265 and 285 Toyos Last edited by travisjb; 04-23-2009 at 12:58 AM. |

Travis, I don't see new brake rotors or at least pads on your list, are you planning on sticking with the stock set? The reason I ask is, as you probably know, some people have experienced issues tracking the Z with the stock brakes, such as Edmunds.

Forgot that ! I have already installed Hawk HP+ pads... going to use the stock rotors until I burn through them, then may switch to DBA5000s upon the advice of RCZ
I did not experience fade during my runs at PIR, however, my runs were shortened due to engine oil overheating, so no telling if they would have started fading after 20 mins or so... we'll see The HP+ pads are a little harsh for driving around town by the way... you have to adjust how you use the pedal a bit |

Nice, I didn't know DBA rotors, just looked them up, not a bad price! Especially considering the Brembos are so incredibly expensive! I believe in "You get what you par for", but in that case you may be paying a little over what you get just so that the caliper says those 6 famous letters...
Have you decided if you'd keep the original calipers? I am wondering if some of the scoring issues people have reported when tracking the stock brakes would go away with the Hawk HP+ or similar pads. |
