Can anyone tell what sort of price i'd be looking at for a slight brake up grade nothing top notch just better discs and pads and also how can i tell if a caliper has ceased??

I have never liked the brakes on the Z so want something a bit better and hopefully stop the bloody squeaking i have had for months even after changing the front pads.

 

Thanks all.

Smithy do these pads squeal as i know some high performance ones do and i really dont want that.

 

I am wanting to get the brakes all sorted after the 25th of this month will you still have a set?? front and rears???

 

Shahid..

 

Are these discs good then as they seem like quite a good price are they just a direct replacement for the old ones or does it involve changing things??

 

Thanks to all for your help.

Got no complaints on the discs or pads. Way better stopping and feel than standard IMHO. Discs are a direct replacement, no mods required. Do a search on here and I'm pretty sure you'll find that 3G use Brembo blank casts. I'm still using the factory callipers with this setup and get no squeeling under any braking condition.

 

Stu/Tony - Out of interest, are you guys using the fast road version or the higher compound grade racing version pads? I read somewhere that squeeling was an inherent problem with the latter.

I sent a mail to 3g asking for a price on the different discs they do and asking which type they recommended.

 

I got an email back today and they recommend the 10GR for 300ZXs. Does anyone think it's worth spending more to get the 20GR or RS10?
