As people may know I am up grading my car a little and I have the choice of better brakes or Xenon lights. Which should I go for?

Personally it has gotta be the brakes!

 

But I understand the xenon lights are about a grand!

 

You could have a set of R33 brakes for 450-500 and a set of HID lights from ebay for 250ish?

Yeh gotta be the brakes for me also. Will be getting details of some cracking 6 pots soon ;)

Brakes! :cool: I've only heard great things about the uprated options.

It's a no-brainer mate. Got to be brakes.

Brakes it is mate!!

Eat more carrots, 300zx lights are not that bad,

Brakes,If you go for the lights you will only smash them when you try to stop:D;)

Are the GTR33 brakes a straight bolt on - I've heard that only certain wheels will bolt as std on front of zed due to original calipers being very big. Are the GTR33 brakes smaller in size?

ap racing expensive but very good 343mm with 6 pot kiss the windscreen job

Stopping definitely or seeing a bit more.....

 

Got to be stopping. :D

The problem with 6 pot is the pads tend to be huge and cost a lot. Plus the master cylinder may not be up to it.

Brakes without a doubt.

 

You only have your lights on when its dark.......... you use your brakes all the time!

The only advantage with the HID's is you will be able to see what your crashing into:D :D :D

Brakes if you drive hard... and I'm sure you do. ;)

 

As someone else said you only use the lights in the dark... and how hard can you drive in the dark even if you bolted the floodlights from Hilton Park to the front. :) Plus it's now getting lighter not darker.

 

I'm quite impressed with the stock brakes considering the weight of the car but they do fade on B-roads - nearly made a new layby on Woodhead pass the other day!

 

Are uprated pads/disks better or worse in the wet?
