I was looking at the stillen site and checkin out the brake kits, and its a little confusing to me seeing 6 different options where I would only imagine needing two(front/rear). Maybe 4 max (front-red/black, then rear-red/black) but anyways I dont think I have seen anyone-since I have been on NICO-talk about the brake kits from Stillen. Are they worth the money? good, not good? I would just like to know the opinions from anyone and everyone. and does anyone already have them? I wasnt planning on getting them now, but maybe soon I wouldnt mind the upgrade, if its worth it.

PLEASE chime in!>>

isn't it something like 4k for the front and 4k for the back? or was it $4,000 for front and back? well anyways, theres a post in the 07+ sedan forum. turns out one guy got the new infiniti G37 big brake kit installed on his sedan. he showed pics of the calipers next to a 350z BREMBO calipers and the G37S had bigger calipers. they're 4 piston calipers (stock are 1 piston lol) also the rotors are like 14" and you gotta have 19" rims to even fit them on the car lol he said 18's MIGHT work but has not tested 18" rims on it. so basically it's almost the same thing as the AP racing one but MUCH CHEAPER. he said it cost him $1,500 for the front but he got waaaaaaaaaay more stuff then needed. he said just get the caliper, brake pads, and rotors and everything else will work from our cars. so it might only cost like $1,000 for the front ones. so in my opinion, why pay more for something when you don't need to?

The reason they have six choices: Front: Drilled/slotted in red (1) or black (2)Rear: Drilled/Slotted in red (3) or black (4), or slotted only in red (5) or black (6). I'd say they are well worth the money. AP racing makes very good products, good enough to be used in various racing circuits and on one of the worlds fastest cars, the Koenigsegg CCX. There are cheaper alternatives of course, but you can't go wrong with the AP Racing brake kits if you've got the coin.
