Raul I might still have mine in my garage. I'll look tonight when I get home.

Whatcha need them for?

RCZ · 07-15-2010, 11:55 AM

Want to have stock pads for everyday driving. My pads are dead and need to be replaced and I'm also looking to upgrade my braking soon but didnt want to have to run race pads everyday. I want to have both and there's no point in buying them new when I have all you guys who already upgraded with pads sitting around. $131 new for all 4.

If I can't find a set soon I'll get HPS or something like that for the street and carbotechs for the track.

Got a trackday coming on August 10th.

Oh and for those who don't check my blog

Sick Video RCZ, I noticed it looked like there was a delay from when you were reving it to the needle actually moving?

RCZ · 07-15-2010, 02:14 PM

sound is out of synk thanks to youtube.

NewYorkJon34 · 07-15-2010, 02:24 PM

Oh lol damn YouTube

So you've had the kit for a couple of weeks now, what's your review of the kit now?

travisjb · 07-15-2010, 02:49 PM

nice vid, thanks Raul

my brake pads went with the calipers, sorry

RCZ · 07-15-2010, 02:57 PM

Stillen just so happens to have a sale right now where if you get rotors, pads come free.

My rotors are warped and the dealer won't warranty them because I have 14k miles on them so looks like I'll be doing business with Stillen again soon...for the 70th millionth time.

Also picking up some Carbotechs for the track

Travis, thanks man, but no problem. Things should work out regardless.

Yeah saw this on youtube awhile back, installation and gauges look good. I do a 370z you tube search by date posted daily.. surf to much at work.

Also i second the vote for driving footage!

RCZ · 07-16-2010, 05:31 PM

I'll try and get some driving footage this weekend...

Got new brake pads, brake lines, fluid

Stock pads?

RCZ · 07-16-2010, 06:03 PM

Stillen Metal Matrix pads for the street, Carbotechs for the track

m4a1mustang · 07-16-2010, 06:05 PM

How are the Stillen pads? I'm assuming Goodrich lines and AP fluid?

RCZ · 07-16-2010, 08:10 PM

I was told to expect something similar to a Hawk HPS pad. So they should be better than stock. No noise, very little dusting. Good price too.

You are correct about the other two things

JB-370z · 07-17-2010, 10:23 AM

That means they are going to have a nice little bite to them.
