I own the performance moldel and I'm going to new 19" custom wheels. along with that I need to have better brakes. I know that brembo is on the track. I called the nissan dealer in cleveland and they told me that I can't upgrade to different barkes. Knowing better than that, what are some suggestions that you guys have on better looking and perfoming brakes?
I also need help on sizing them.

Thanks Cold350z

First I would stop going to that dealer. Next there are at least 4 brands that come to mind for big brake kits, Wilwood, Stoptech, Brembo, and AP racing. All of these makers have applications for the 350Z just make sure when you swap it out go with DOT 4 brake fluid. As for any of these kits clearing your calipers on your wheels I don't know it depends on what type of offset the wheels have. But most wheels should clear with no problem. Hope this helps.:)

You would find better prices and selection if you bought online, unless you know some one who could take care of your needs...

Just make sure that it is not Intense Motorsports. They're already in trouble with the BBB. Good luck though and make sure you keep us updated with your progress and plenty of pics too!
