Need new brakes

[Skym]

Big brakes need to be bed in, warmed up, etc. Sometimes it can be due to using incorrect size brake master cylinder, etc for application. My mates GTR racecar runs 2 piece stock sized rotors, braided brake lines, etc and it's enough for racetrack, etc with semi slicks.

hey man,

a couple points to make, a few people here have made the switch to the AMS big brake kit but weren't all that impressed with results.
on a recent trackday last year, we had 9 skylines going around a track and the brake set up that seemed to out perform all others the best, is the OEM gtr brakes!

they're good brakes, people always under estimate them. moving to a bigger brake kit adds a lot more weight to the unsprung system, and rotating mass too for bigger disks, and as such may actually result is worse braking performance, which is what we saw on the track last year.

100% my recommendation would be to get your oem calipers some new seals, clean them out. and spend that money on 4 good GTR disks and a set of really high end brake pads, also you could upgrade to stainless braided lines (which will improve brake feel), and a really good high end brake fluid like RBF660 Motul, lastly a brake master cylinder stopper too. you'll be much happier with the performance, future servicing will be easier and more cost effective, you won't have brake bias issues (which you might on a BBK), and honestly, like I said before the oem gtr brake system is really phenomenal on the track, it works perfect.

just my 2 cents.

hawk HPS pads
+ powerslot rotors
+ stainless braided brake lines (if you dont have them already)
+ good quality brake fluid (motul dot 5.1, RBF600, Willwood 570/600, etc.)

should run you less than $1000

+1 and all avaliable most likely in stock at lordco except for good brake fluid. and 1 year warranty so you can get a new set every year if you have a friend at lordco i used to work there lol. but i had this same set up on my 303whp integra.

I have a $1000 budget for brakes and would like to have some input from you guys on this....I know about the AMS kits already but is there any alternatives for a good set of brakes for similar pirce?

Ams with upgraded front brake sizing for around 700$.

Do you want just pads and rotors? Have a preference between aftermarket and own? For 1000, I would stick with really good quality oem sized stuff.

If you want good quality aftermarket, you're looking at about quadruple your budget.
