I've decided that the Z32 brake setup that I have been running is going to be replaced with something larger. I was doing a bit of research and came across this used combo from Raw Brokerage that included Brembo Evo8 calipers, adaptor brackets, slotted rotors & Agency Power brake lines. It kicks my front rotors from 11" to 13" and also with a much larger caliper with larger internal pistons. Giving me more stopping power & will fill my 18" rims nicely.
The only downfall I'm really seeing is the massive weight of the new rotors, they weigh a staggering 17.75lbs each! I'm looking to upgrade to a set of Baer Eradispeed Plus 2 piece rotors that shave them down to 15.80lbs each. STM did a dyno test with their Evo using these rotors. They found that the less rotational weight will actually MAKE power throughout the entire powerband and saw +12 HP and +7 TQ! I'll also be powdercoating the calipers & polishing the lines.
On a side note I spent 3 days "Spring Cleaning" the shop... I filled up 3 large trash cans full of parts & items I just nolonger wanted around. Here's the final result...
