Bloody good price if you ask me! (shame i got no car to put them on :( )

Its just rears dude.

Yeah, i forgot to put this in the main part of the thread. But if youve got Brembo fronts, why not make it a full setup.

Not sure the rears are much of an upgrade, can anyone with them confirm this?

Ask Silverbullet - he said they made a massive improvement. Depends if his old rears were shagged in the first place though I guess....

Silverbullet and cooperSWB both say these make a huge difference, they tell me it is because just having the fronts done gives too much stopping power to the front and not enough to the rear which makes nose dips too much and lifts the rear end.

 

TBH - I'm not convinced it makes a lot of difference! lol

I have'nt tried a zed with upgraded rears, although with the Nissan SX upgrading the rears has a very noticable affect over just upgrading the fronts as it messes up the brake balance otherwise.

 

The zed's brake bias is actually set slightly to much to the rear as standard.

How have you come to that conclusion?

I asked this on another thread, but can the brake bias be adjusted?

Not without an aftermarket brake bias adjuster no...

could crimp the brake lines LOL! :D

Thats why you didn't win best tech advice this year :tongue: :rofl: ;)

it could work!!! :rofl:

Out of interest, are the gtr r33 rear discs any bigger than the zed?

Yes mate, extra 3mm in diameter and extra 4mm in thickness.

btw, i thought the braking on these was fr70-rear30 ?
