Big-Brakes for Jose’s 370z

Jose B visited us in April to troubleshoot some noises and install his Motordyne exhaust and Stillen intakes. We also UPREV dyno-tuned the 370Z, making an impressive 345hp/265tq to the wheels. Jose recently came back to ZCG for a big-brake upgrade.

 

We installed Jose’s Stillen AP Racing Big Brake Kit, replacing the stock front calipers and rotors:

 

The 14″, 6-piston calipers finished in red really fill out the Nimso 19″ wheels:

 
 

We like the new look with the rear spoiler and lowered suspension:

 

Thanks for letting us be a part of your build Jose, Long Live The Z!

Rob noticed that the GT-R’s front tires were worn and he had braking trouble. Immediately following the track day Dan reached out to us and discussed upgrading the brakes and suspension to reign in all that new power.
