Talk to the guys at Racebrakes http://www.racebrakes.com.au/ , particularly Howard. Sorry Charles but this is opinion I have formed from serious investigation into best value brakes and my experience on the track.

Consider the cost of decent brakes like AP's against the fitting cost of Brembos and it quickly becomes apparent that your money can be better spent elsewhere tahn on Brembos. The GTR Brembos are about the lowest spec you can get, with the WRX STi Brembos a much better caliper overall. At the expected cost of GTR Brembos you just won't get the braking performance expected for the money spent. Also consider the master cylinder size and brake balance variation may detract from braking stability and performance.

Finally, consider that on standard road rubber the stock GTSt (and I believe 200sx) brakes will stop just as well and the best value street upgrade is slotted discs with RB74 pads from Racebrakes and decent fluid like MOTUL DOT 5.1 or better and finally a master cylinder stopper. Even a quick calliper overhaul and braided lines will be worth a look.

Full set....$2000 thats what i paid, and i got rotors and a full rebuild kit too!!

[R31Nismoid]

for less than $3500 you can have AP racing 4-spots installed

two piece rotor with a custom hat if need be, decent pads and everything ready to go.

Closer to 5k will net you the mother 6-spotters

Stace, that's getting closer to their realistic value. Actually a really great buy with all the ricers chasing anything GTR and unrealistically driving the price up.

[OYEAHA]

thanks for the replys but ive got them and i want to know what to sell them for

[Duncan]

I paid 1500 for calipers, rotors and pads

[GTRgeoff]

i'm considering 30k for my next set.....comes with a purple 260rwkw gtr as well:D

duncan that's closer to what i think they are worth but a seller has the right to get what he can

Was that just the fronts (hence your posts in every Brembo thread offering to purchase the rears)?

LW.

[Duncan]

yes it was just the fronts. I need the rears for the race car, I wouldn't recommend anyone buying them for street/light track use tho, they are only marginally larger than the standard rears.

I'm also not a fan of the brembo fronts, they aren't worth the money they ask IMHO. Once again they are the best I can run under the regs so I need them. But others should either be sticking with the standard (they aren't bad by an means) or going for a 6 spot upgrade like the porsche brembos or the AP racing ones

Do you still need rears, Duncan? I need some fronts so can split a set if they come up for sale

(see signature!)

Yep happy to go halves, my budget is $300 or $500 if they come with dicsc and pads

[OYEAHA]
