SR240Z Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 the arizona z car kit is much more worth it than this setup. Arizonazcar comes with 12.2" 1.25" thick rotors in the front and 12.2" .81" thick rotors in the rear, all bolt on with just 260z/280z hubs in the front if you have a 240z. No need to machine or modify anything and all for the cost of $1544 plus shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikelly Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I don't think there is a single thing wrong with the kit Dave put together at Arizona Zcar. When you look at the quality parts, the time it took to sort them, and the price, It is a bargain... There are a LOT of options out there for Zcar brakes, and this one is certainly another of the many to investigate. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkspeed Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I find this post interesting. As mentioned above, the Arizona kit is awesome, high quality, and priced very reasonable for what they provide. However, without checking the validity of this engineering, I think this parts list could be acquired rather cheaply. The 11.75 rotor is the common circle track choice and is available in many configurations. Directional vane, straight vane, heavy duty, lightweight to name a few. Most are priced cheaper than stock replacements. Although machining does add cost. This set up might also fit inside most 15" wheels. I would be interested in seeing a detailed build up and if the parts could be sourced cheaper. I've been getting my Wilwood brake parts from Bherent's. They are pretty cheap.

Guest speedmon Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I'm new....so don't flame me too hard, but I think this post underscores what a great value Dave at Ariz Z is providing. I could understand if you could piece together the kit and save 40-50%, but Ariz Z's kit at $749 (front) + $795 (rear) = $1544........If I were Dave, I'd charge more. I know I bought the kit and I would've paid more......and Dave includes a proportioning valve as well. But maybe that's just me.....I like to drive, not wrench. And I've had these brakes to the track.......and they don't fade, which is what counts. I'm thinking of moving to a little more agressive pad though....for a better bite. That way I can stay on the throttle longer into the turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraz240z Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 you are right i should have bought the kit myself but i wanted to try making it my self i guess just for the challenge but if you could peace to gether the parts for less its worth i should have bought the arizona z car kit but the advantage of my kit for those people running watenabe wheels you could run 15" wheels on this kit even some 14's with a 1/4 spacer i don't know you decide what you want im happy with my kit and i know it will work good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that it's great that you used your own inginuity to make your own "kit". It almost sounds like everyone hear is trying to flame you for not getting the Arizona Z kit. (Is Arizona Z selling shares in their company that I'm not aware of.) If it wasn't for people with your creativity forums like this one would never exist. All you would hear is "What are you stupid you can't install #$@# in that". Granted I'll be getting the Arizona Z kit myself since there isn't enough of a cost savings to make the fabrication worth it, but I admire your efforts. Keep it going.

[/quote'] Well if he charged more it wouldn't be much of a value, would it! Arizona Z's parts are Top Notch, no question about it. And his prices are fair, that's why people buy from him. If he where to start chargeing $3K for his brake kit how many do you think he would sell? I know I wouldn't buy them when I could spent $1.5K and do it myself with basicaly the same parts.
