We received our Brembo BB Kit "Model: 1M1.8024A" this week from Race technology Dist. and boy are we excited about it. This kit is going on the Profusion Time trails race car so we will get first hand testing at the track. The kit came very quickly from Race Technology, over night for us. The packaging was meticulous and everything in its place. We wasted no time tearing it open.
The new 6 pot calipers and 14" 2 piece rotors are considerably larger than the factory 4 pot calipers and 13" rotors that came on the 2003" Nissan 350z track edition. The instructions are well managed, installation went very smoothly although we did have to remove the inner brake dust cover as it was to close for our liking to the new rotor. Overall product fit-ment is like an OEM production unit and would rate the installation (2.5) on a scale from 1-5 one being the easiest "novice" and five for "professional" installation only.
When we return from our shake down runs at Willow Springs raceway next week 5/24/11 we will give our final tally on the Brembo GT BB kit on a scale of 1-5 stars. Stay tuned for our next update and video.
Ok so made it back alive and initial testing is done. We were throughly impressed with massive brake bite and overall stopping power the brake setup gave us. The Brembo BB kit decreased our stopping distance a whopping 20% which is exactly what we are looking for in a brake upgrade more stopping power.
Mind your car setup tire, weight and suspension all play a roll in braking, if do not have a tire that can grip the road then a large brake upgrade is almost useless. When we tested this kit the test car was fitted with Hoosier road race radial slicks.Your results may vary!
Profusions Product rating: We give this product a big thumbs up and 5 star rating. For overall fit-ment, design, quality and performance.
