cgomez1978 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I need help i live in cardiff but work in bristol and use my 350Z to commute. last week i pushed it a bit to far because some idiot in a astra vxr was flashing me anyway i left him behind but a couple of miles down the road my brakes started smoking. so i think its about time to upgrade the brakes anybody know what would be the best and how much would it cost. ive got a 2003 roadster non-brembo(jdm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hi bud, if you get in touch with Kevin at Envy or Phil at ESR they will sort you out with what you need. Best to phone during office hours though, their PM boxes tend to get pretty busy. Their prices are a lot better than Nissan and they will be able to supply pads based on your personal requirements. Delivery should only be a couple of days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunset350z Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 All depends how much you want to spend, give Bigphil or Kev from Envy a ring and they`ll give you the best options to suit the car and your pocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWZ Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Smoking brakes / discs is normal after hard use - are you sure they need replacing? If the pads are grinding then Yes they are but I would have them checked first before spending £££ on a new setup. I've had mine smokin twice, once in Milbrook and the other week when I was trying to bed in my new pads. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgomez1978 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 cheers for the replies i might just wait till they have worn down then i was just under the impression that once they started smoking they were damaged and no good anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
