I finally got the RacingBrake installed yesterday.

 

looks great. Did you just swap rotors or did you do pads also? Please provide specs, prices and pics after the wheel are on.

 

This is one mod ive been wanting to do, How was the install?

 

Looks like the oem size rotor? Or is it the 13" oem caliper upgrade?

 

RacingBrake makes excellent rotors. I have them on my Accord. One thing i like about them is the black coating on the hub that prevents rust. But you will see very slight rust on the rotors.

 

looking good, I've been thinking I'd do the same once my pads wear out, how was the install and pricing on parts

 

so was the braking difference night and day?! this is the stage 2 right? rotor, lines, fluids, and pads upgrade?

 

lukmee, looks good.

I installed the RacingBrake kit on my sedan as well. Here is the link with pics:

nice upgrade for sure. are those your OEM calipers?

 

I think the oem caliper upgrade kit is one of the best performance/$ brake upgrades for the G/Z. Great choice.

 

Thank ttrank & skeleton_cru

 

NICE. did u install it ur self?

 

brake setups look great lukmee & skeleton_cru.
Do the brakes feel any better. I was thinking about doing the same setup. The kit for the '05 looks a lot better than the one for the '04. It has much more disc area. Than the ' 04 kit.

How do you guys like it overall?

 

It doesn't improve stopping distance, but you have less brake fade. I am disappointed with the Hawk pads. They are pretty poor in th erain.

 

Thanks for the feedback. That's mostly what I'm concerned about, brake fade. I've been really indecisive with this whole brake thing and I have to make a decision soon.

The stock setup stops great, but they're not made to take a beating. I'm still a little hesitant because I don't know if the calipers are good enough to rely on. I'd hate to spend $500-$1000 on a kit when I could have put that toward a Wilwood setup like this: http://www.arizonazcar.com/350zbrakes.html

Despite the pads would you say getting the kit was worth it?

I dunno why I'm having a hard time with this decision. I got limited funds so I want to spend wisely. Thanks.
