They are 1 piston front, 1 piston rear. The piston's and rotor's are different sizes.

 

Geeze, they're both only 1 piston? I might end up investing in a BBK now.

 

The fronts are bigger on basically all cars, because of weight shift under braking (plus cars are usually heavier in the front).

Bigger rotors give you better heat dissipation. The multi-piston fixed calipers just give you more pistons, but overall piston area should be pretty much same. They just distribute the pressure more evenly over the pad. Not that critical honestly.

Unless you repeatedly get brake fade from pad overheating on performance street pads, getting a BBK is pretty much a cosmetic only upgrade.

 

Does anyone know how many bushings I need to buy for the compression Rods? My car makes a noise when I turn left and bumps at slow speeds. Idk if its the left or right I think it's the right but I'm not sure.

 

The compression rods use 1 bushing and 1 ball joint. The ball joint can not be replaced. If the ball joint is bad, you can order a new compression rod and it will also come with a new bushing. The bushing alone is available from a few vendors in the marketplace.

 

Does the worn out rod bushing make a squeaking or knocking noise?

 

Would an after market rear sway make a big difference without installing a front one? Or should you do both? I'm looking for less body roll and less oversteer if possible. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

 

creaking actually

 

it would probably make some difference. I would highly recommend you do both by the same percent or neither.

just installing a rear will increase neutral oversteer.

just installing a front won't really help you oversteer problems either. I assume you are having too much power over? check your alignment? what tires are you running

 

Thanks for the advice!
Anyone else with any experience???

 

It sounds to me like your endlinks are back. A good way to check is to disconnect them and try braking. If it gets rid of the noise, it's the end links. While you're there, take a look at the compression rod bushings for signs of wear.

 

any good recommended brake pads? i found some akebonos for about 107 bucks.

 

Edit: sorry guys don't know why this got posted here.

 

BUMP! ask questions here!

 

I am about to install an Ichiba Rear Camber kit on my car

Question is, do I need to grind that area where they toe bolt goes if I'm installing 350z S techs on my car?!? OR can I just put it without doing so?

I have been reading a lot about it on the DIY's on doing this install. So I am prepared to do so!
