jessejames Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I'm going to be upgrading my brakes soon. I'm leaning toward getting the t3 front and rear kit. Part of me was thinking about getting the arizona z front kit and using it with the t3 rears. I like that the Arizona z kit is a slightly larger rotor. Does anyone know if they use the same calipers? Is anyone running the arizona z front and t3 rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EF Ian Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 The kits are almost exactly the same so for the sake of simplicity I would just order them all from T3. The AZC kit is however also available with a larger rotor and also have a 6 pot option. However I can't see the need for it, my Z is 500hp and the standard size rotors with 4 pot calipers have been absolutely fantastic so far. I don't run either rear kit on mine because to pass the yearly test here I need a proper parking hand brake, while there are some small kits available to go alongside the 4 pot rears I decided if I am going to have a handbrake it might as well be really strong so I can use it for drifting. I am running Mustang GT calipers on the rear of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessejames Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 Have you had any issues with them, since they dont have dust seals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EF Ian Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 None, but then my car is almost always dry weather only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baby_Carlton Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I'm currently running AZC front brakes and 5 lug hubs and T3 rear brakes with the Ebrake. I think both are equally great quality though I've had issues getting the e-brake function to work on the T3 rear kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EF Ian Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Did your wheels fit over the hubs without spacers? I'm struggling to find a wheel with a centrebore big enough to fit mine, not impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baby_Carlton Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Yes my wheels fit over the hubs fine though I should've purchased my wheels with more offset so they wouldn't poke as much. Running Fifteen52 Formula TR 225/50R16x8 +0 with non-rolled fenders, should have ordered at least +10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeko Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Look at Silvermine They have some nice kits and Edan is very helpful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they clear as my current Rota RBRs do not. Nice choice of wheel, don't think I've seen that fitted to many S30s. +10 is a better offset, mine clear fine, but its close. Think I may have a small amount of leeway, so might try and move the new wheels out 5mm as I want to run 8.5" on the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baby_Carlton Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I love the RS8 Watanabes, especially when they're custom barreled to some double digit width. Also thank you! I've seen a few S30s with the Formula TRs on instagram, I think the wheels look great. It would definitely be interesting to see them on more JDM cars.
