Why would you want to by 'break pads'?

And I would definitely go for the flux capacitor racing module pads. They are hella JDM

Don't get mad just because people are trying to help you speak/type properly.

Spelling is something that we learn in grade school. We can always learn.You are rejecting learning. a fool.

At any rate, to answer your question.

ENDLESS makes great pads and calipers and rotors... or whole BRAKING system if you will...

also, I'm still learning about brands and models. What are the cool looking calipers that are always red, purple or blue. Are those the j30's or q45 calipers? And why are some like 600 dollars and others like 100-200 dollars?

Also I wanted to ask, is there some sort of pressure ratio that i should know about the calipers? Like how many pounds of pressure they apply when used.

when people are referring to j30 brakes they are referring to the brakes that came standard on the infinity j30, and same for the q45 brakes, they dont look "baller" but they serve their pupose better than the stock 240 brakes. you could also run brakes off of a 300zx and the master cylender off of that car as well and it will make your brakes feel like SECHS for your feet!.

search this stuff dude theres threads and threads about it

Not being smart, but you really need to search brands on google or something. You arent getting it. The j30, q45 and 300zx are not brands. They are factory braking systems from the Infiniti j30 and q45. And the 300zx is a Nissan 300ZX.

If you want 6 or 8 piston calipers like you see on higher end cars. Then you can also use factory setups from other car manufacturers or aftermarket kits. There are 1000s of options and many different brands, manufacturers. U need to do some searching and some research and decide for you, if you wanna spend the $3000 for an endless brakes system which will replace a majority of your factory braking system. Or if you wanna spend less and put a factory brake system on it like the Infiniti j30, q45, or the Nissan 300zx. There are alot of brake threads on here. SOOOOO, do yourself a favor, and stop posting here and just do some personal research there is too much out there for us to tell you all the options and make a decision for you.

POST 1300...

Well, you asked for info on brakes. I gave you info on brakes, and really more than anyone else did. We cant choose for you which of the thousands of brake combos that are out there for you. I gave you a better idea of whats available, and told you where to look. Now, I am calm, and never wasnt. And I am not coming down anywhere. So, like I said before, do some searching around online like anyone else would and find a setup of your liking.

Sorry if I dont candy coat my posts with "o sorry buddy let me tell you every different brake system available for s14's."

you can paint your J30 brakes red with $5 caliper paint or get them powder coated but it takes some work.

Im using Hawk HPS pads on all 4 wheels, using Q45 brakes.. couldn't be happier.

Although i dont drift, so i dont know how efficient they are for intense rough braking

Why don't you try searching next time so everyone that posts doesn't make fun of you. Just a thought. Unless you enjoy being belittled by people in 240GEN.
