lol.. may sound dumb.. but a lot of times it works..

Find an empty area.. run the car up in reverse at a good clip and hammer the brakes.. sometimes that's all it needs.. just a different direction to knock it loose.

and it's a different sensation.. kinda fun..

lol these stop so hard it would be a weird feeling going backwards!

:drool:

Im wondering is stoping sooo fast a good thing??? At high speeds I know it can cause the car to lose control.

JB its a solid feel when braking with these brakes. The car remains completely stable under heavy braking on my setup. I have done several 60-0 then 70-0 then 80-0 back to back runs so far with no fade and stable braking control throughout the entire series of braking. I am so glad i have a few streets around the office where I can do this :D After the car gets back from FP I will do the braking tests and give everyone solid numbers to run by. :tup:

when I say back to back I mean 60-0 then floor it till I reach 70 and then brake to 0 then floor it again... I did this process for a few miles to really try and punish these brakes!!! and they just keep taking it. This was also in sub freezing temps and the brakes were quick to stop. After I got off the lonely side street with no traffic I pulled onto the main road and when I pulled into line at the light smoke was coming out of my wheel wells :rofl2: people were looking at me like OMG!!! I just smiled hehehe :D

Thanks for helping make my decision bullitt. I ordered them today and it looks like it will be 1-1/2 months before I get them to my house. Not really a big deal because my 19" SSR's have about a month or so left before they get to my house.
I opted to get them in a custom poweder coated red. 15" front with 8 pistons and 14" rear with 6 pistons. I went with the drilled and slotted, I know I am going to get $hit from some of yall for going that route. The nice dude named Mike threw in some free stainless steel lines all around too, not sure what kind though! Plus free shipping. After the sale is over these things are going to cost more. Someone want to give me an idea of what brake fluid to use?? I track once a month if that, and I am not a crazy driver on the streets! Does endless make street fluid?? How much does a shop charge to put these on??

yeah three short runs like that is nothing hell my akebono's with stock pads and fluid did 5 stops 150-20 and they faded on 4 and were gone after 5 (pads were covered in metal, rotors were HOOTT and scarred to hell). now i have stoptech front rotors(the rears were fine) and hawk pads. Going to be looking at getting some different rotors and picking up some carbotech xp10-xp8 pads for the front-rear, some stainless lines, and some ate superblue fluid.

slow, I did more than three stops I did like nine... and i didnt even let the brakes cool enough before pounding them hard again. like I said these will be properly tested once I get the car back.

Please do. We were involved in testing some of the Racing Brake BBKs in their early days and there were a lot of issues in terms of excessive (and I mean more than pad squeel) from the calipers they produced. Too often companies produce products that are untested in harsh track conditions and I hope this isn't one of them.

Hey bullitt how are the brakes holding up buddy?

They are holding up FANTASTIC!!!

I have been having some fun with them thats for sure. Your gonna love yours when you get them installed!

I think I missed this but how much did you pay Bullitt?

He paid less than me because he was the g-pig and had to wait months to get them but 3.7K is on the cheap for these bad boys plus Alliance was nice enough to throw in some SS brake lines. I had mine custom powdercoated red though. I am picky.

-Bullitt what are you going to do about not being able to use your spare tire due to fitment now??? Or did you already rip that SOB out of there?

Hehehe that Lil sucker was History when I did the first track day lol I never looked back! Btw if anyone needs a spare tire I have one :tup:

I can't discuss my pricing but needless to say I got a rediculous deal!!!

justin these are right around the corner for you. i sent you a PM yesterday I think. but im really excited to see your kit as it will be the first powdercoated kit. super pumped to see how they turn out

very nice!

The first with SSR SP3 wheels too. They will both compliment each other for sure. So they should be shipped out next week or the first week of April? Thanks Mike I will post pictures as well for you to use as sample pics for others wanting the powdercoated option. I need to buy a camera though mine broke all I have is crappy i-Phone err...

so wait, these do not fit the OEM wheels? Ie. MY stock nismo 19"ers? How much do this bad boys weigh by the way? Stock Front Rotors are 30 lbs, I know these are 15" but I imagine the rotor is lighter. I bet the caliper is heavier though.

I understand that the stock 18" spare tire won't fit.

these should fit the stock wheels with no problems ;) also, the rotors are easily lighter than the stock ones!!! Hey, JB you wanna weigh yours when they come in? I was in a rush to get these installed so much that once Mike dropped them off I already had the car in the air prepped and ready to get the new brakes on LOL!

I'll weigh them when they come in. It was shipped out today :happydance:

negative ghostrider. the Alliance calipers, while much bigger with more pistons, are much much lighter than stock brakes or OEM sport brakes

8 piston caliper: 6.50lbs
6 piston caliper: 5.95lbs
14" rear rotor: 21.75lbs
15" front rotor: 21.00lbs

youre decreasing your unsprung weight by 33% on the rotors, and decreasing the weight of the car with the lighter calipers. what would be the point of a brake upgrade if you were increasing weights :tup:

These fit all stock wheels; if you have base 18" wheels you can fit the 14" rotor, the 19" nismo/sport can fit the 15" rotor, but all OEM wheels clear these in terms of offset

8 piston caliper: 6.50lbs
6 piston caliper: 5.95lbs
14" rear rotor: 21.75lbs
15" front rotor: 21.00lbs

I am with ya buddy can't wait for mine to come in. Got my SSR SP3 wheels off getting high polished with clear coat and custom painted face (Graphite grey metallic) 370z color but with extra metallic and a shade darker k51 paint code modified :happydance:.
What color did you go with??

reason I doubt the alliance calipers are lighter is that the oem calipers are even forged aluminum.

I can tell you right now equinox they are lighter! Well atleast the fronts are... The rears are about the same maybe a Lil heavier.

Not to mention the calipers are forged aluminum too...
