Upgrading the brakes...?

RichardK · #1 27-10-2005, 09:25

What's the best way to upgrade my brakes? I'm used to driving a 54 reg all day long then I get in my S12 and wonder if it's going to stop lol

I don't want to do major alterations to the brakes, just wondering if there's a straight forward (ish) upgrade?

Cheers slags.

You could try upgradeing your disks and pads something like Black Diamond, brembo, EBC etc and fitting braded hoses.

It only feels better in the 54 reg coz they have more power assistance.

Depends how mad you go, but prob some gooved discs and nice pads is all you need.

go for the s14 caliper conversion.

try changing the pads and disk and change the brake fluid to 5.1 while you at it with braided lines mate

I've just done the S14 conversion whilst keeping Silvia discs

They look great and have alot more bite but I have now order some Silvia grooved/drilled discs for ?90

Any chance you could do a how-to mate?
