Whyd they stop making them, it seemed like a pretty good idea.

Does anyone have a set? how well do they work?

Is there any other company that i can get a set from?

[mrpeepers]

i dunno they look good. Maybe it didnt have complete contact with the rotor? bracket was not safe? Id still buy it

Contacting SPL would probably get you the best answer to this post.

my guess - big liability vs little profit.

I wouldn't get the MAX kit.
Heard good things about cosmoworks on FA. Are they still on ebay?

If you want to run those rotors and can't find the brackets, I guess you got to get 350Z/g35 brembos...but they are pricey and expensive. Basically they are very pretty and thats about it.

whats cosmoworks?

[OptionZero]

another person/company with a similar bracket allowing 350z rotors to be used with 3z calipers

I lol'd


Explaination I got was Kuah ran a batch and they got knocked off in 20 minutes or something so he didn't think it was worth it to run another batch since everyone else was.

oh shit... they stopped making those? damn.. it was on my list of things to get from SPL, lol... too bad they stopped making their bucket seat too, I wanted to get the one :-/

[idriveattz32]

they stoped making them because they replaced it with the 350Z track upgrade kit...the parts to utilize a 350Z track rotor are easier to source in the states...all you need is a 350Z front rotor set, 300ZX 30mm caliper and the adapter kit and appropriate brake lines

if you're thrifty with your rotor purchase and you already have the 300ZX brake swap you could have two piece rotors and the adapter bracket for about $500.

if they dont carry the bracket anymore its because its sold exclusively through conceptzperformance in GA or yugobernie in NOVA.

my suggestion for anyone considering this, if you already have the calipers, lines and BMC installed on stock 300ZX rotors: buy the two piece rotors from racingbrake.com for the 350Z track and the adapter bracket and you'll have a nice trick big brake setup for $500.

Im 4 lug and have no intention of changing. (too cheap)
i was just planning on drilling the Z33 rotors for 4 lug.
