How much did it cost to upgrade? Did u get it done at a stealership?

 

 

I got them from a very close friend that was parting out his sedan. And he had the rebuild kit from brembo, and rebuilt all 4 calipers. New rotors, 2nd set of hawk or brembo pads he gave me.
5 350z 17s that clear brembos. with 5 new tires with under 200 miles on them for $1000 bux... Hes exact words were, I dont want them going to no douche bag, I want u to take them. So it wouldve been stupid of me not to take them for 1000

but if u get lucky and find a set, they should go anywhere btwn 12-1500 for a clean set. lol

 

well have fun with you'r crappy OEM brembos then...

 

where is proof to show non-brembo is better than brembo brake?

 

Wow look at all the people talking out their asses about how the oem brembos suck and that akebono's are great. How many of you people read the article about the testing of track use on akebonos on the 370z? Those didn't perform well in their stock configuration either.

Everyone knows if you want track use you are going to want to go with a true bbk. But as far as daily driving and some spirited driving you are going to be fine with the oem brembos or akebonos.

 

pretty sure they went to a dbag anyway

 

 

yea theres some people sippin the haterade in this tread. besides the op already said he wants to get them for mostly looks.

 

Yes. No paint will ever match the brembo look unless its brembo itself. but im happy with my result/calipers. From a distance you cant tell if its brembo or not, and they dont stand out like red does and complements the car.





OP, like I said. Save yourself a grand or two and just paint them if all you care about is looks.

 

sorry but, I wouldnt paint my Oem brakes Gold if u paid me lol.
I had my stocks Black just to make them less visible. lol
And my brembos are powder coated very close candy red to my cars color. Pretty happy wit them so far.

 

SDGenius knows what he is talking about. Yea upgrading them to the brembo is not going to make you stop faster but you will get better modulation and less fade.

 

Brembo gold is the same colour Honda uses on their cars, if this helps. I have an old thread on this somewhere...

 

OEM Brembos + powdercoat = win

 

Not worth it, if you really want new brakes get a BBK!!!
