any one used 3G brake disks????

i need a new set of disks all round when i had my 300zx these disks were used quite a bit just wondering if any one has them fitted and what they thought?

Yeah loads of people. Anyone you see claiming "Brembo brakes" in their Sig usually has 3G discs and stock Toyota calipers.

LOL Jake! I'v 3G discs all round, really saw a big improvment. Good cheap(ish) option until you can afford Big brake conversion! IMO

Envy do some great prices on these mate.

Edit : I was thinking of DBA brakes.

Stock discs all the way - with CW fast road pads.

Sell loads of them and plenty of good feedback, always have them in stock if required.

cheers

yes mate i use i them they r very good and they r a good price if u get them from 3G direct.

what pads are you all using? and what disks from the 3 shown

cheers for the replys

I use these as well, done a couple of trackdays and sprint events and not even bothered them. highly recommend them.

Go with the Porterfields, sell LOADS of them and everyone is happy with them. Great for road or track.

I'd go for the 3rd disc type, only for the looks, dont know if they are any better.

Endless for pads. We've used them all and the vast majority don't even come close.

Gaz.

What's the next step up from stock UK 4pot calipers on the front & 2pot on the rear ?

3G do indeed use the brembo casts so essiantially a brembo Disc, work well with CW's and portfeilds. Running a set on the 300zx with Axxis Ultimates at the moment and seem a good combo too.

If you have 18" wheels then you can go for the 14" Brembo kit on the front, together with the rear kit. The rear kit is designed to work with the larger front kit.

6 pots are the next stop, KAD's are superb and reasonably priced, I've used them on my own car for about 3 years now, may be longer and I can safely say its one of the best mods I've ever done. I've got 378mm(15") floating discs but they are available in 356mm as well.

I've just got to ask:

Do these aftermarket brake kits use stock geometry etc? In other words, do the calipers require the disc to run further in or out than stock...erm, I'm not explaining my question very well am I! (any answers however you see fit )

The reason I ask is that it seems to me that after this upgrade, you're stuck with that manufacturers setup and can't switch in other makes of disc for example.

Oh yeah, do the 378s require 19" rims to fit?

Why would you want to use a different manufacturer of disc? The KAD 356mm kit uses there own disc, you can also specify an AP disc at an extra cost. The 378mm kit uses AP discs. You will need 19" rims to cover these monsters yes.

Well I didnt know that the KAD kit used AP discs...my thoughts were along the lines of "What happens if KAD go bust? Where would I get replacement discs from?" rather than "What if the KAD discs are rubbish and I want to try different ones?"

KAD 356mm kit used to come with AP discs, KAD decided to make there own discs to get the cost down a bit, its all good quality stuff. KAD have been around for a long time now so I wouldn't worry to much.
