Message and is your car modded or not?

1) If you have stock wheels - get the MWS Kit because the Z1 / Ash spec kit requires 17 inch wheels.

2) If your car has 17inch wheels and is stock - it doesnt matter which one - all about preference ..

3) If you have 17inch wheels and a modded Z - get the Z1 / Ash Spec brake kit. There is a difference. THe kit is a two piece rotor and will be strong enough to stop the car at high speeds without fading or cracking. I cracked my cross drilled rotors with stainless steel lines / 300 degree master cylinder brace / pads / etc. My braking distanced improved significantly with the new 2 piece rotors on stock calipers.

I don't know if Z1 still sells this kit or not. Check with them ( Russell ) or check with Ash. I know Ash has something brewing in the pipline for brakes though. If no luck there - try SPL parts ( Kuah ) - they have a two piece kit also.

4 ) If money is not an obstacle or if the Z is roadcoarsed - get the Stoptechs.


p.s. - remember if you go with larger rotors - u can't use your spare and if you have different tire sizes --you can't swap the rears and the fronts .. I got rid of my spare tire.

"... Installing the ES bushing was a huge pain for me because it's so stiff. I like the way it feels once installed, but if I had to do it over again, I'd get the OEM ... it's soft enough to flex right into place ".... 300ZMang on May 05, 2005 at 10:47 AM
