Just got a 370z I have a sport brake ????
 

Just got the car tonight with 12 miles on it. I noticed the sport brakes were not as good as my base 350z brakes. When I barely apply brake pressure in my 350z the car stops. I felt the 370z required more pressure to stop the car. I don't remember if my 350z brakes were weak when the car was brand new.

I know brakes need to be broken in but are my brakes going to improve after it has been broken in?

Thanks

My 350 doesn't brake nearly as well as my 370 fwiw.

350z base brakes are 2 Piston and the 370z sport has a 4P/2P setup.... something is off, probably the break in...

something is definitely off. Did you have pads on the 350z?

Big congrats AZN. I know you have been waiting for a long time. :tup:

The brakes are phenomenon compare to 350Z brakes. I came from 03 Z. I def think that it'll get better over time. Your car is too new. Put few thousand miles on it and then report back. Two days ago, I did a quick brake check 80-0 MPH. Lets just say I was VERY impressed :tup:

Yep yep took a year to save up. Got penfed financing thanks to you. I don't think anyone is as obsessed with the z as I am. Ironically today was the first time I ever drove a 370z. I almost chuckled when I saw how big the side view mirrors look from the inside.

Sounds to me like you need to bed the pads in.

^^ that's what i was thinking

I know exactly what you mean, I noticed this too coming from an 05 Base 350Z. The 370z brakes are not modulated the same way, they require more pressure to apply. Even when I drive my brothers IS250, his feels so much better, because they bite down without very much pressure. But trust me, 370Z brakes are WAY better, try doing some hard braking and you'll see. More pistons and a larger surface area means better stopping power.

my GFs G35 brakes seem very harsh and abrupt when braking, while my Z has a little play so you're not jerking forward every time you try to slow down a little. In a hard stop the Z is definitely better by far, and less touchy for every day braking.

An update after about 50 miles, the brakes work better now. The car doesn't keep rolling when I apply the brakes. The brakes feel as touchy as my 350z. I really like this car a lot.

what's "k23" mean? never seen it before...

color code?

Yep color code, my 370z is the same color as my 350z, really like light color silver.

Brilliant Silver!

i'll give it 2nd place behind Pearl White. lol :stirthepot:

Hard to resist driving the car even in the rain. :tup:
