thanks

IMO the best stopping for the $$$ in terms of rotors are the AEMs.

Otherwise Brembo, and Wilwoods make some awsome big brake kits for our cars. They are pricy though.

DSM also makes big brakes for our cars hehe. The brakes that come off a GSX/VR4/Diamante. They are dual piston calipers with like 38% more braking surface than ours. Hehe I'll be getting mine soon :) They're cheap too if you can find it from a salvage yard.

hey james, my friend has brembo slotted and drilled all around with metal master pads, and also rre brake lines for his gst and he said it brakes Nice! he got his from island he has hook up there like you do... my cousin karl with the eclipse has the 2piston calipers front (gsx) powerslot and metal master pads he likes it... depends what kind of braking you want... both of these around 300 if you get good prices
hey james did you find a weekend your free to do my fuel or ?

In my opinion the best upgrade big brake kit is made by Baer. Dual piston caliper(Same size as Corvettes) with 13" rotors.

i'm looking to spend bank, like 1500 to 1700 bucks. i'm pretty sure i will get the AEM kit for the rear, but i want some good ass brakes for the front
thanks lates
james
p.s. mike have you installed the afc yet?
have you checked where we put the hrc fpr, is there going to be enough space there for the S-FMU it is alot bigger?
when we find time to put this shit in the car will drife a hell of alot better.

for the front i would go baer or aem but for some 2-piston calipers you need 17in rims and bigger some you dont... i believe aem has a 4-piston front deal which cost around $1500 alone...
james, i installed the afc the same day i called you about the vc-2 before, and i notice my s-fmu is bigger then the hrc fpr but i have not tried recently to see if it will fit, i cant seem to remove the hoses from under the fpr to remove the fpr, and if i try pulling i cant fit my screwdriver in with my hand to loosen it... maybe my screwdriver is to big or do i have to do it a certain way?...
let me know when you free so i call that weekend off and also about the brakes to see if my friend could get it cheaper for you...
cool

So I'm just wondering but what exactly do you need brakes like this for? My friend who races his NX2000 uses racing pads, stainless lines, and DOT5 fluid and his braking is amazing. He's still using stock rotors and pads. Now I managed to fade my stock pads and glazed em racing a type R on the freeway and from autoxing. I managed to barely fade my metal masters at Buttonwillow racetrack. SO what exactly do you need these big brakes for? I use left foot braking so the brakes tend to heat up pretty fast if I utilize it often especially on a mountain path.

Or O_o are you just getting these so your car will look better? Have you ever faded your brakes? you should probably learn to stop better before you go getting these crazy brake upgrades. To me the stock braking system is beautiful the fact that I can fade it once in a while during racing kinda scares me though that's why I'm getting the Dual Piston upgrade. Try to learn heel and toe braking....

Yeah I am going with the AWD 2 piston brakes also. I bought both calipers for $100 used. I have to pick up a boot rebuild kit tomorrow which only cost $40 each. Then semi metallic pads and stock rotors cost me $100. So thats a $300 brake upgrade to 2 pistons calipers.

Here's mine. Wilwood Big brake kit. 13" slotted rotors- 4 piston calipers. They work great!

your sig shows (i think) sdclipse takin the pic in your post, lol....

if i upgraded my stock brakes (already done pads) i would only do the fronts. the rears only see 20% so why drop all that money in them??

if u have rotors in the rear, its a diff story..

Yup that's him, that was at the meet at Cali Speedway.

Oh ya, did sd_eclipse ever post the pics he took? I have bad memory...maybe he got some more pics of your brakes...mine came out kinda dark I think...

those wilwood brakes, who makes the kit? does wilwood make the entire kit? or does somebody else do it and use their calipers. I may have a hookup at wilwood so i was wondering

don't get mad get glad
thanks
