my 85 z31 brackets

new oem pads


anything else i need to get before i start? i am doing it tomorow.


it seems like with my q45 fronts and stock rears my bias is like 88 front 12 rear
That's all you need! It's all very straight forward, it's almost weird how all those parts work together!

With my stock 14's calipers and HP Plus' pads I could stop on a dime but I had to replace them after 3 or 4 months of daily driving, they were noisy as a rusty Amtrak and my rims always looked like shit. Right now I have HPS pads and they are just OK. Waaay better than OEM replacements but I would not take them on a track. Without hawk pads I really wonder if a q45 upgrade is worth the trouble.

Mine were 2001 Q45, so that may be the reason I actually found them.
