Hi guys and girls this is my 1st post in the brake and suspension topics so i will apologise in advance for any 'noob' questions anyways after driving the old mans R33 V spec with DBA 4000's,HEL braided lines and i think Remsa pads(GSL recommended them) my standard sumitumo clamps with RDA ugroove rotors,HEL lines and EBC red stuff pads dont feel near as bitey as the brembos on the Gtr.
Now this is where my dilema begins........... Now i havent set a budget in stone yet but im thinking maybe around $2500 - $3000 zone.
After shopping around online only found 1 full set of brembos off a 33 with rotors for $1800 which i think is a bit rich.
Ive looked at the K sport kits as well and the 356mm kit is $2300 but im kinda weary of putting 'cheap' stuff on my car that may be unreliable (brandwhore) obviously unless anybody can confirm otherwise from 1 of these kits? But thats just for the fronts alone.
The 3rd option im contemplating is picking up a full set of wilwood calipers 6 piston fronts and 4 piston rears which on Ebay i can get for maybe $1500 but then id obviously need to fabricate my own brackets up to adapt the wilwoods to my mounts and correct the brake bias yeah?
So in saying that is correcting the brake bias as simple as putting a proportional valve in?
Please correct me if this isnt possible but im thinking this would be my shopping list? V spec front rotors 6 piston wilwood calipers on the front using my standard rear rotors with wilwood 4 piston calipers on the back,good quality pads,custom braided lines,motul fluids and a proportional valve do-able for around $2500 and my time in making brackets and install???
Id like to hear some peoples opinions on some of the brake kits they have used and what their opinion is of what i propose to do and possibly any recommendations for my shopping list obviously the aim of this exercise is to get the best stopping power for the least amount of money. Id also really appreciate some name drops on who sells this stuff at competitive prices!
aaaaand GO!
