Since I have recieved the $2500 Nissan North America brake defect check, I have ordered the StopTech rear SS brake lines and the ArizonaZCar 6-pot Wilwood front BBK. Now I need to order some good rear rotors and pads to go with my OEM rear calipers. This car is gonna stop real good! Pictures of the install to follow. Dave at ArizonaZCar tells me that the 6-pot Wilwood calipers are backordered until July 15, so it will be about 2 weeks for delivery. My neighbor has agreed to help, so we are going to do this ourselves!

 

Nice....Post up pics as soon as you have them installed.

Are you going to be painting the calipers?

 

I have thought about painting them red. But I just don't want to f'k them up. Black will do.

 

Congratulations, Cato!

I'm waiting on my wheels to come in this Friday- then I'll double check the fitment and hopefully have my BBK the next week.

 

Have you decided on which BBK you are going with?

 

So far I've decided on Wilwood fronts- still debating between Arizona Z-car with 13" rotors/6pot calipers AND fastbrakes.com with 13.6" rotors/4pot calipers. I think I'm just going to change out the rear pads/lines/fluid instead and try that before upgrading to a rear BBK.

How about you? Where are you at with your decision?

 

Guys, I'm also in the market for a BBK system. I know the AZCar kit is very popular due to the price and quality for the front kit. Now in the future if we want to upgrade to a rear kit as well, dave's kit eliminates the parking brake feature, which i need! So if we buy a different kit, fastbrakes, racingbrake, rotora or even a wilwood from a different company, how would that affect brake bias if any? That's something i've been wondering and not knowing much about it, i figured i would ask.

I figured i would also ask dave if he would ever do a rear kit that does not eliminate the rear parking brake. If someone already has asked, please let me know. If he had one, i would have bought the kit a long time ago from him. Thanks for the help.

 

Right now I am trying to decide on between the 2 setups.

1- ArizonaZcar 6pot caliper BBK up front with racing brake OEM BBK upgrade for the rear.
2- Racing Brake 4pot caliper BBK up front with racing brake OEM BBK upgrade for the rear.

The only reason why I am debating between the two setups is because if I ever decide to get a full BBK for the rear, I would not want to go with Wildwood upfront and Racing brake in the rear.
As of right now I am leaning towards setup 1.

 

cato, how come you got the 6-pot calipers? I don't think those will fit your wheels without spacers.

Vodkarocket,

Out of the 2 scenerios, which one do you think would be a better combo?

 

^ I'll let you know this evening as I am meeting up with a local member who has setup #1.

 

Nice...keep me updated!!

 

How did it go?

 

vodkarocket,

the suspense is killing me
