Talking Brake Upgrade Recommendation

Can you upgrade fronts first and then rears later. I have 06 6MT Coupe OB. If I upgraded it would be for looks more than performance. The 19" rims look pretty cavernous with the stock brakes. My thoughts were that by doing fronts first and then rears later that I can spread out the costs. Any recommendation on brake upgrades. I think I will probably keep rims. Any recommendations or advise?

-Do you need to upgrade all brakes at once?
-What brake setup will go good with 06 19" OEM rims?

Thanks.

ENDLESS 6 POT Mini BBK, the brakes are great and very responsive but as for daily use, it is a tad overkill. If you plan on tracking it, then it is definitely be worth it.

Yes i believe you can do fronts first then rears later.

PM martyg35 if you have questions about the brakes and Zackt69 if you are thinking of purchasing them

yes, you can do front only. stoptech, wilwood, project mu, and AP racing are some good reasonably priced brands that people like around here. also, search the marketplace - ShanesG is selling his AP racing front/rear kit and i believe one other guy is selling a front only Stoptech kit.

One should only add a front BBK from a maker that has their calculations designed for a front only BBK.

If you want to added the front side of a front/rear bbk kit, I recommend you just wait until you have enough $ to do both at once.

OP, if you're still just looking for a front only kit, a guy just listed a 332mm stoptech front bbk on my350z for $1,450 shipped:
