Over the years i have run a number of brake combinations and ap were the preffered choice until i tried StopTech's i Know run 355mm all round 32mm front and 28 rear i think and it is far the most balanced braking i have had on any 33 or 34 for overall performance and feel. Highly recomended thanks.

I've got Endless 6-pots on the front of the FD, but standard RX7 brakes on the rears. Stopping power at the circuit is noticeably better since I started using them, especially in the wet, surprisingly.

But they're not exactly cheap...

On the Soarer there are standard Supra brakes fitted, front and rear.

yep, also thinking of going to an Endless 6/4 setup on my car. But bloody hell are they expensive!

Takamo · 9th September 2006, 08:34 PM

Hi guys i have Endless brakes on my car and i think i have 8 pot on the front and 6 pot on the back.

They are very expensive from what i hear.But this is my first time i have had endless brakes and it nearly put me out the window.

But in my opinion i think they are very very good brakes.

gravesky · 13th September 2006, 01:03 PM

Standard for me please... if my wallet permits, and the car stays roadworthy long enough for me to think about upgrading the brakes, i'm sure i will probably spend the money on something completely useless which will add unnecessary weight to the car and see me skid along the road heading for a whoops i didnt see that kirb/tree/policeman moment.

MR GTR · 13th September 2006, 05:44 PM

on the r32 i have

r33 brembo calipers on the front
r32 standard calipers on the rear
uprated 320mm grooved, 2piece disks with anodised bells on the front
drilled disks on the rear
braided lines all round
ds2500's in the front
green stuff in the rear
master cyclinder brace

stops quick enough

Fuggles · 22nd October 2006, 07:34 AM

Front: AP 6pots with 362mm fully floating discs and DS2500 pads or occasionally Pagid pads
- But I'm thinking of changing them as they don't last long enough on a track day before I have to come in

Rear: standard R33 Gt-R

KG@R33GTR · 22nd October 2006, 09:10 AM

std brakes
DBA discs
Ferodo pads
Nismo brake lines

kismetcapitan · 25th November 2006, 08:12 PM

do braided brake lines really make that much of a difference? How about a master cylinder stopper?

Braided lines are probably the best VFM mod I think. Yes it really makes that much difference
