T2 brake upgrade

Hey guys need some info what brake upgrade could be done painlessly and not spending lot of money beside upgrading to drill and slotted rotors and good pads. I already have 4 piston calipers with stainless steel lines. What about fd fd brakes ?etc.. Thanks in advance

What more do you need out of the brakes?? What pads do you run? The T2 setup is actually pretty good. You can upgrade it by running a Ronin Speedworks Mandeville front brake setup. It allows you to run 350z front rotors. I have this setup on my car.

FC Mandeville Brakes

You probably just need more agressive pads. When did you fluch the fluid last?

Drilled and slotted rotors do nothing, don't waste your money. FD calipers are the same as FC calipers basically.

Installing a set of Hawk HP+ pads usually does the trick unless you've got >300 HP combined with aggressive braking & <200 Treadwear tires.
