ok as some of you know i am going turbo (being worked on in the shop) but i am looking into brake kits...i REEEEAly like the greddy grex kit and i would get 6 piston fron and 4 piston rear..but before i pull the trigger what would you guys recommend? please keep it under 5k with both front and rear

 

not sure if you would be interested in these. https://g35driver.com/forums/showthr...ht=wilwood+tce

 

i have the wilwood front and rear! Great setup for a lot less what other 6pot/4pot brake kits go for.

 

does it clear every or most wheels? thats one of my concerns when getting a bbk.

 

if you get 14 inch bbk in the front you will need at least 18s. the wilwood is IMO the easiest BBK to clear compared to others. If you have really conservative offsets you mgiht want to check with others before purchasing. my rule of thumb is, if the wheels will clear factory brembos, it most likely will clear other brakes unless with factory brembos it is very close and you're going bigger than 13 inch up front.

 

I have the GREX 6 piston front and 4 piston rear. Love the brakes, but I really haven't had a chance to push them to the limits. My car is a non-Brembo equipped car, and I have iforged wheels. I did have to use a 15mm spacer in the rear. The front had less than 1mm of clearance, so I went ahead and put a 15mm spacer in front to even things out.

 

Best for what? There are too many things to consider to call one the "best" when you look at the criteria. And just because someone has 1100hp that doesn't have much to do with brakes. Unless you somehow drive in stop and go traffic from 160mph to 15 on a regular basis! Choosing what's best for you and your needs is more important than the "best" you can buy. I can set you up with a single caliper that will cost you more than an entire brake kit, imagine the cost of the final kit...

Wheel fit?
Fade resistance?
Open track use?
Cost?
Replacement parts cost?
Pad options?
Pad life?
Color options?
Caliper construction?
Rotor mass?

Most conversations usually boil down to two issues: Wheel fit and cost. No matter how you cut it the average 99% buyer is going to make a choice based mostly on this. The guy shopping for the most "hard core, open track, race car brake system" is not likely to be posing this question. He's got an open checkbook and knows that he's going to drop $5k on massive 1.375" wide rotors and X brand 6" wide monster calipers with one inch wide pads. And he's not buying red calipers with drilled rotors. He's about the mass.

The key here remains to identify the key issues first:
1. What do I expect to do with my car 98% of the time?
2. Am I prepared to buy new wheels and tires?
3. Do I really want to run massive wheel spacers with their related issues?
4. What am I reeeeallly willing to spend?

The other criteria tend to follow. You'll see pad options, rotor finish options and colors and which ones cost more to service.
