badger1 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I know this has probably been covered a hundred and one times but new products may be available...who knows!! Anyway my ill fated zed :wack: is due to grace my prescence again tomorrow evening :dance: having had the tubs replaced and the engine 'tuned' and all the dodgy old pipes replaced for good measure!!! I'm looking for some good brakes to go under some 19" rims I'm eyeing up!!!! Not only must they do the job but I'm also looking for some good lookers with loads of grooves and drilled surface area!!! I don't want to spend an absolute fortune....although I probably will as usual. While I'm at it does anybody have...... Standard electric folding jap mirrors in black A suspension set up 19" rims going cheap.... regards Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm keen to get good looking disks to go behind some nice rims but thanks for the pad advice I'll be needing them too!!!!! As for the suspension you suggested i do like my cars low...for cosmetic reasons not comfort!!! Are these adjustable height wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine that they will be so cheap in the UK!!!! I did just check on the US ebay though and there was ,some cheap gear on there compared to here...problem is they don't deliver here!!

greg Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 kyb's are not height ajustable just damping, however the eibach springs will drop ride height to around 30mm and there progresive. :cool: let me know on the mirrors, hope the car turns out well :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmer Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 spl parts in the states sell a bracket so you can fit 350z discs to the front of the car.the 350z discs are huge compared to stock zed ones.the bracket kit is only $195.ive seen brembos on usa flea bay for about $150 for a 350.cheap upgrade for the money.

Guest colonel Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 If you got 19" you might wanna use bigger discs/callipers as well, for the looks and, of course, the effect. We use a lot of Porsche 993 Bi-Turbo drilled 332mm discs and callipers (Brembo), installed with a bracket. This will deliver better looks with the big wheels and stop the fading of the OEM brakes, once the Brembos have warmed up. Costs for new parts are around 1,5k (used ones around 1k) and with the bracket it´s almost a direct bold. Callipers are not too grooved, though.

The Dark Warrior Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Have a word with Mickeyb at ZworX. I know he's working on a 360mm brembo brake upgrade right now. Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
