Re: which brakes?? (gav181)
Stoptech makes a nice BBK (big brake kit) for all 4 wheels for about the same price as just the front Brembo's. The kit comes with slotted rotors, braided stainless brake lines. I have it on mine which has 18"wheels and it went on easily, I don't believe it'll clear a 17" wheel, I also got Ferodo 2500 pads and the set up works great.gav181 wrote:hello every1. i'm new 2 the site and have recently purchased a jap imported 350z. now i have the task of replacin the bog standard brakes as they dont come wiv brembo's.any ideas of something that looks and does the job well? have bin lookin at chrome 6 pot retora's/retoro's? cant seem 2 find any info on them though. any advice would b great!

Yes, the calipers come in different colors. I went with red because of my car's color.gav181 wrote:do they cum in any other colours. the cars grey and ive got black and almost chrome lookin wheels.
