They look great. What are the weight differences between the aftermarket assembly vs. stock? What type of racing do you do?

Do you race the car? where you getting brake fade with the stockers?

What size is that rotor?

Approx cost?

TT_Rex_7 04-02-05 01:13 AM

"Approved by Japan" :rlaugh: Last time I checked, the factory brakes are approved by Japan, America, and other countries!! :)

They look great man!!

Yes, I maybe do the autocross this summer.

The rotor size is 13".

I got it for $1498 US!!

how big is the autox course?

Awesome and good deal! But, What is A&Z? Where did you get it?

I got it from a major importer of car product who did the special order for me from A&Z. It is the manufacturers of OEM and aftermarket brake system for the Japanese brand name under the confidential contract, such as ENDLESS.....
So, the quality is EXCELLENT!! Right now, they just want to use back their own name to publish their product to public.

I will tell it what I feel when I get back my car on Monday!!

very nice!!!!!

That is darned cheap for a brake kit.

It's too bad they don't say "Approved for mad braking skills" or some other cool phrase. ;)

Big brakes for autoX?? Why? Maybe I'm drunk or maybe you wasted your money

For the same reason that he probably thinks 6-piston calipers stop quicker than 4-piston calipers. :p:

Nice looking kit. Too bad about the logo. I'd invest in a grinder and some red touch-up paint, personally...

don't these change the brake bias (balance) towards the front too much?? or is there a matching rear kit?

93FD3S 04-02-05 12:07 PM

Very nice, I would love to get a set. Would you be willing to share your source?

The bias is set by the proportioning valve... not the size or number of pistons in the calipers.

The bias is affected by a lot of things. Installing new front brakes with bigger rotors and more piston area with the same stock proportioning valve will certainly tip the bias toward the front.

My importer maybe has 1 or 2 set for sale. If anyone is interested, please PM me.

Most people on the forum upgrade the brake system to 6 pot too, right? I just want more braking power!!

No, 99% of the aftermarket kits come with 4-pot calipers. You won't get more "braking power" from an aftermarket brake kit. You get more braking power by running wider stickier tires and by using high friction compound braking pads. All of which can be done with the stock brakes.

The ONLY reason (besides blinging it) to upgrade to a larger brake setup is if you are experiencing fade on the race track. It is completely unnecessary for any kind of sane street driving or auto-x.

with that said, the 929 master cylinder reportedly makes a world of difference over the wimpy stock set-up
