Thread: Who likes 11" rotors on the rear of an B13...

i'm using wilwood bp20's in the front and hawk hps in the rear (meant for a inf g20)

autox course 2 weekends in a row, abs simply wasn't on as much and car just felt better. was a lot lot easier to trail brake and get the nose turned in. i reused the rear pads.

Going bigger soon, EVO Brembo setup... should balance shit out...

LOL!

Some times I wonder why people come on here and ask our opinion if they are going to do what they want anyways regardless of what we say

I already did this, and ppl are saying they would be too dangerous since the rotors are the same size but the caliper piston bores are too close and not enough variance... not going to go back to smaller rear brakes, rather get larger up front. 350Z track rotors 12.75 inches and some Evo Brembo calipers should do the trick. It feels a little weird to me, but I haven't really driven the car that much, so I just felt like posting this thread to see what ppl have experienced, the front and rear rotors STOCK are about the same size.

I run willwood 11" fronts and 11.4" rears. Fronts are vented and rears are solid. Fronts are two piston dynalite and rears are p10 single piston. I have an altima mc and no abs. Stainless lines all around. I absolutely love this setup. No reason to go to 11.75" fronts at all.

Moving the bias to the rear is like pulling the ebrake in the snow. It makes the car really twitchy and unstable. My Chumpcar team (against my recommendation) put xp10s on both ends of our Impreza. Sent the car out for practice and it left the track backwards on about the 3rd lap! The only car I've had any decent results with aggressive rear pads is on the TTB S13, however it A: has a metric ton of aero on the back, B: is still a couple steps down from the front, and C: the fronts are some monster 6 or 8 piston Willwoods.

Do you track a lot? Why do you need monster brakes? The only reason I see for monster brakes is if your driving a turbo beast or your car is super heavy.

Cuz they look cool?!!

Lol. I really never thought about how you can "overdo" your brakes. Almost seems counter intuitive. But true.

It seems like the NX brake upgrade for the b13/b14 is and always has been the best option, 10 years later still
