Cable Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I just finished installing (8/31/2007) all new front brakes on my Z. I went from having the stock two-piston caliper with tiny pads and small solid disc rotors. Now I have 4-piston calipers for a '90 4-Runner 4x4 3.0 litre V6 (http://www.partsamerica.com), vented, cross-drilled, and slotted rotors ('84-'85 300zx non-turbo) sourced from eBay. I also replaced all the rubber lines with stainless braided lines. I bought the stainless lines and disc/hub spacers from Ross. Boy what a difference in braking. Its also nice not having any brake fade after a good stop. Plus they look good when looking at them through my rim spokes too...... I did the whole swap for under $400. -Stainless lines & Spacers $200 Shipped -Reman Calipers $80 pair -New Vented, Slotted, & Crossdrilled Rotors $85 shipped pair -Semi-Metallic Pads $25 -Dupli-Color Caliper Ceramic Spray Paint (red) $7 -Can of Spray Brake Cleaner $2 So, what do you guys think, does it look good?

Savage42 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 When you decide you need even better braking, get a real pair of brake pads and it'll make a huge improvement over those pads!! Brakes are your friend! (especially when we make the cars go really fast!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brakes are your friend! (especially when we make the cars go really fast!) These cheapo pads are stopping nicely. I don't do enough serious effort braking to warrant higher quality/price pads.
