Anyone know who sells a rotor size upgrade kit while still using the stock caliper with an adapter?
I have seen them for other cars but not the G...

 

Check out www.racingbrake.com, although according to their site they say that the OE caliper kit "will not fit G35 (non-Brembo) 05-07 due to the increased rotor size and caliper change on the new models". I don't remember this being on their site a few months back. Not sure what year G you have.

 

This should be moved to the Brakes & Suspension section, may get better response there.

 

Good question. I would be interested in this kit. I was looking at racingbrake.com but you are right, they dont have anything for 05 and up non-brembo! Anyone?

 

BUMP ^^^ for good question. ANYONE HAS ANSWER?????

 

For best performance you will want to use the stock sized rotor with the stock caliper...

Relocating the caliper is not a great idea... Once you move out the rotor, you will then have to change piston sizes to maintain the same braking performance as it was in the stock location, not to mention then flex or other movement issues you may get from the relocation brackets.

You can upgrade to a better rotor keeping the same size... the 05-07 G coupe & 05-06 G sedan brakes are already decently large...

You will get better performance out of a better pad and rotor combination...

(this is in short without going into detail on the physics of why this is not a good idea either,)

 

Ah i like, very nice. So ill just pop in some Stoptech drilled/slotted rotors with some Hawk pads and be fine?!?!? Sounds good if so.

 

That is definitely a good option... If you wanted more aggressive stops (more initial bite) you can go with a more aggressive pad... Project U B-Force or other more aggressive compound....

PM me for pricing on Stop Tech Rotors!

 

After having the RB oem caliper kit I disagree. I had the oem size rotors (drilled and slotted) with axis pads and they had big fade issues. After going with the RB I was able to push my car much harder. In fact the only reason I went with the Rotor 15" 12-pot kit is looks.

 

Some rotors are better than others, as are some pads. What kind of drilled/slotted rotors did you use? Also, did you change your fluid? Fade usually has a lot more to do with boiling brake fluid than pad fade.

In short, relocating the caliper outwards adds more torque to the front brake, which may sound good at first, but what you're really doing is changing the brake bias frontward, which means the rear will be under-braked. This will result in longer stopping distances, not shorter, though it may "feel" better upon initial pedal application.

 

On my car (early sedan) the front brakes were under-sized so this helped a lot.

Before I had Power Slot rotors, Axis pads and did flush the system with Motul fluid.
