Big Brake Kit In - Brembos Out

[spitalul2bad]

Since tomorrow I'm doing another track event, and for the last 4 I went to I had problems with my brakes (catching fire, smoking race pads, boiling brake fluid and more) because I loved it so much I stayed on the track for almost a full day (about 8 hours of track time, one hour for lunch and one hour for refuelling and drinks), I decided to replace the Brembos. Other cars would stay for 20 - 30 minutes then wait an hour before doing it again.

I did use Ferrodo race pads, Motul brake fluid and all the ammenities... however the stock brembos never felt... "safe" enough. After 30 - 45 minutes of track time, they don't stop as good and I can't brake as late as before, and if I push them more, I have to stop and let them cool off.

Anyway... A long time ago, I asked about big brake kits... JETPILOT had some sage advice:

zer...reams

So I decided to go with the StopTechs. I found a kit that does front & rear full replacement for the brembos I have now. I really hope they'll cope more for the type of "endurance" track time I will put them through.

Here is my exact purchase. Since I live in Europe, I am buying from a German dealer:

The fronts are SP60 6-Piston and the rears are SP-40 4-Piston. A little overkill but...

Now, I don't know what to do with the stock Brembos. Sell 'em ? Keep 'em ? If I sell them, how much for ? Shipping to the US costs a fair bit. And there's few 350Zs in Europe, and even less people looking for parts on the Internet.

I want Brembos!!!! Is it expensive to ship to London? I have an aunt there.

j/k...no matter what you do, I hope you find a good home for your Brembos.

V.....look, I just need Brembos and I will be a Grand Touring Model (minus the RAYS wheels)

Shipping to continental Europe (and the UK too) isn't that expensive. It can be done.

I ordered my brake kit. It hasn't arrived yet, so no pics yet. Sorry.
