Any ideas what type of brakes i should replace my standards for, the front discs are shot and i was lookin at replacing the lot. Could do with a set that could handle track days.

 

Seen a set on ebay

wondered if anyone has them and if they are good value.

 

Or does anyone know of a better deal else where.

 

thanks

The best stock-size brake setup your going to get for the money : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/300zx-Hawk-pads-Brembo-drilled-grooved-disc-deal_W0QQitemZ150154045024QQihZ005QQcategoryZ23013QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

 

But tbh if your looking to take her on the track then your going to have to go for a Bigger Brake setup (Bigger calipers, bigger discs). Your options there range from a 2nd hand Skyline GTR or 350z Brembo setup or the popular new K-sport range. After that it starts getting into the thousands of ££ mark with the likes of AP racing, Wilwood..etc

just the odd track day bud

When it comes to brakes for the Zed, the list is realy endless mate. From cheap to the absolute mega expensive. :)

Few things to do 1st though, search the word "brakes" in the forums search box and get some ideas of what peeps are using and happy with. No matter what brakes you buy, fresh fluid, new decent stainless lines will make a big difference as to how they perform.

If staying stock size, ensure calipers are fully functional, often 15 year old calipers could do with a rebuild to operate as they should.

Have you a budget ? This is also the one area where so many different people have different opinions as to what is good and what is not for the money, so personally i'd go with what seems the most popular. IMO.

I always reccommended DBA discs, Skyline guys in the UK and Aus are possibly the biggest users of them, on and off the track, their price is quite good too, they are also one of those companies whose discs have not yet been copied using cheaper materials and so they are not known for warpage or cracking.

This link below shows a vast range to choose from and Danny (DTA) can pretty much supply any brand of disc/pad or 6 pot brake kits from around a grand and upwards.
