Darren350 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Hey guys, the discs and pads on my 2004 GT need replacing and I was thinking of going the drilled and grooved route. Mainly for asthetic reasons to be honest. I'm no racing driver but it would be nice to have a bit more grip if I need it as well. These look like good value on ebay, but are they crap? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270888177750?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300646467318?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 At the moment the car has standard brakes from the looks of it, and worn at that! Making them a bit crap, will these be better? Thanks in advance! Quote
Leosille Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) What's your budget? haydenH has a aesthetically pleasing setup or could get a brembo big brake kit £3k ?! The traders on here will help you out clarkmotorsport, cs, Tarmac to name a few Edited January 22, 2014 by Leosille Quote
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 These are just cheap and cheerful Chinese discs that have had groves and drill holes machined in, no real performance benefit but you'll get the look your after. If you are after more stopping power you need to look at better pads, there are a number of options available depending on your budget and driving style. Drop me a PM and I will be happy to go through the options Quote
Jixaman Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 +1 For that money I dont think they will even live up to OEM, with poor quality steel probably wont keep their looks either, its your brakes mate, got to be the most important part of the puzzle, even if you'r not tracking it has to be as good as original...

Darren350 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 Hey guys, thanks for the advice. Budget wise I want to spend about £400 maximum. The brakes are currently good and do their job well, but when the time comes I want to upgrade and not downgrade, so if those ones I posted are of a dodgy quality I would rather spend more and actually upgrade, lol Quote
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 If you have that sort of budget then the Pagid replacments we sell at £230 for the front and rear pair combined with Ferodo DS2500 pads at £180 for the front and rear set will give you a good increase in stopping power http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/79142-pagid-brembo-discs-for-350z-230-for-front-and-rear-delivered/ Drop me a PM if I can help Quote
