I have black.brembos with white lettering and stock rotors from a fellow zilvia member

I do not like the stock rotors might do brembo or dba 4000

My question is I see z fever sells a bracket for 370 in order to put the e55
8piston brembo with massive rotors all.in all about 2500

Anyone tried this set up?

What rim dimensions do u need?

And bmc would be needed. (Has the z32 on it now)

I just found out today I sent them the same questions but I wanted to.know if anyone here knows anything about it. Or a better way to go about it.

I.know its over kill but the evo ones I.have on now I.will sell or put on my 96
So I need to figure out which way I wanna do.the 98 and the e55 have baller all.over it

Please lmk any help would be appreciated

Dear.god.not.this.again.

In all reality, you will never need that much brake in an S-chassis. If you want the bling factor, go for it, but it has no more performance potential than a well setup Evo/350z Brembo or 370z Akebono brake conversion..

Oh wow I apologize, I feel like a dick now but if you don't mind me asking..if that really happened to you then how are you building a car? Or driving something fast enough to need such a big brake setup?

You'd only unbalance braking power and lock your front tires with that setup. Considering you will surely not use tires or a suspension setup that can use that stopping power, you are actually downgrading your braking setup.

Get a full z32 conversion if you are concerned about braking. Or Def's 2 parts 300x32 wilwood brake kit front, and Z32 rear. It is cheap to buy, cheap to run, light, looks cools, and best of all IT WORKS.

Why in the first place do you need e55 brakes? You want to be baller? There is nothing baller about owning and driving a S-chassis car. Sell both your S14s and get E55 or E63 if you want to start on the road of being "BALLER".

You want baller brakes just beacuse? Fine, get a full front and rear set of ENDLESS, Project Mu, AP Racing, Brembo GT, or Alcon racing calipers if you want to be "BALLER".

The only benefit of running that setup is to ADD weight to your car. Using Google I quickly found that a E55 brembo caliper is a lil shy of 11lbs each vs the 8lb Evo brembo. Add in the weight of the rotors (unless you drop $800+ for the 2pc rotors) your probably adding anywhere from 5-10lbs of extra weight per corner on the front of your car. That means your engine has to work that much harder to move that extra weight and your suspension has to handle the extra sprung weight. That's why the big boy brakes kits are light weight billet calipers and usually come with 2pc rotors (alum hat) to reduce the added weight on the suspension.
