Put my Hawk pads and drilled/slotted rotors on. I also installed half of my JIC coilovers. Whle everything was a part I cleaned the inside of my wheels and wetsanded them. I also cleaned the chit out of the Brembos!

 

WOW, your rims look like new, did you wetsand the inside of the wheels or the entire wheel. Also imma let you know and give u the final ok on our secret project . Lets keep this between you and i please.

Good job on the car though, looks hot.

 

Did you wet sand the entire wheel? Also does your chrome lips have little scratches in them that make them look hazy? Just wondering because we have the same wheels but a different style and was wondering what you do to take care of them.

 

Your wheels lookReal nice.

 

I put the Hawk pads on this week too. Man they squeak like crazy. But the wheels stay clean and they bite better than stock. I thought having less brake dust would justify the squeaking, but now it's starting to annoy the crap out of me.

 

HPS pads aren't really known to squeal that much. Did you bed them in well? Also did you use any anti-squeal lube on the backing plate?

HP+ are a different story - they are noisy but stop oh so well

 

If the 05 pads dust as much as the 04's, my god Im changing them!

 

what set of cross drilled/slotted rotors did you get? how much was it and where did you get it? been looking to upgrade my rotor and pads.

 

I got hooked! They were like 350.00 shipped from a guy on ebay. I removed the stock brembo rotors and these look just like them! It was the best deal Ive found on the net. If you want Ill get you a link to the seller.

 

Do you still get a lot of break dust with the new brakes? My rims get tons of crap on them and it is so hard to get off. I have to wash the wheels like 3 times a week. What else can I use?

 

I havent had a chance to drive the car yet, its in the middle of a makeover. BUT my buddy has the same setup and see's VERY little dust!
I wetsanded the inside of the wheel where there is no chrome. My chrome looks great! you you tried mothers polish?

 

How was the JIC coilover? Did you get the 10kg Front and 12kg rear? or is it 10kg front and rear? I brought the 350z set up for my G coupe 10kg and 12kg. The rear spring doesnt seem to fit right because they are way smaller them my factory one. Is there any thing I need to do, to install them?
