New Brakes!

[BryanGrigsby]

Well I broke my cherry. This my first mod to my car, albeit a rather easy and popular mod but their awesome.

Cross drilled rotors and stainless steel lines. 26mm. Axxis pads.

It was a good learning experience, I hadn't done much other car work before. It was pretty basic and there is so many people doing it that it was damn near impossible to screw it up. I didn't remove my splash sheild but I chopped the hell out of it.

No new MC or rear brakes, but man it is a HUGE improvement. Braking is effortless. Much more confident and absolutley no fade.

Sorry about the gay logo on the pic by the resizing software. Its shareware.

Here is what I had before I put it on.

Also no comments on the suspension. Ive got a full suspension setup from SPL hopefully coming in late next week.

Looks like some excellent starting point to begin the modification infection....

Calipers look tip top!

Looks like you got a package (rotors, calipers, lines etc.). It looks great.

NICE!! I only wish my car was running so I could spend some money on that same modification.

[Ghost_silvia]

OH btw where did you buy your calipers from?

[BryanGrigsby]

Looks like you got a package (rotors, calipers, lines etc.). It looks great.

Heh, I wish it was a package. Someone should put together a package that consists of these components and doesn't cost so much.

I got the calipers from autozone, remanufactured. They were $80 a peice, the rotors were from http://www.projectnissan.com, as were the hard lines. The lines came in quick but I waited 4 ****ing weeks for the rotors! I have a long wish list for this car and the hard lines came in quick but I think I will minimize the amount of parts I order from Project Nissan. 4 weeks! Damn!

Total cost was about $440. Iv'e seen people do it cheaper but I like knowing Iv'e got good parts.

[BryanGrigsby]

Oh I forgot that I got my core charge back on those calipers which was about $35 a peice, but I think I blew it all one night on the town.

Doh!

So about $370 total.

Not bad for the hardware....I ordered a Bride FG rail from Project Nissan on the 1st and that bish still isn't here yet(I missed a track day)!!!

or if you upload them on NICO, you can just let the NICO member's rides do it for you: When you link to the picture, just use the "medium" sized pic, instead of clicking and going to the full size... The medium is plenty big enough.

Nice brakes.
