well, i just got my Q45 brakes on my car today. man do they fill my 16inch wheels up. haven't gotten on them yet do to break in but i'll find out tomarrow or soo how good they are.

list of parts i put on

earls stainless lines all the way around
stock 97 Q45 front calipers and rotors
stock s13 rear " " " " " " " "
front pads are EBC green stuff
rears are Hawk race compound
DOT 5 fluid

i have twice the surface area on the pad then the stock s13 fronts!!i have pics but the file size is too big for TR. total cost i spent on everything including the fluid is $397 thats more than i wanted to spend but i think i did pretty good. the pads were the exspensive parts i spent to much on, but ohhwell. anyone know of a brake upgrade that would be better then mine but for the same or less money?

 

Throwing a pry bar threw the spoke of the rim is cheaper but less efficent. Good job on the brakes though and keep up the good work Bill.

 

was that with paying full price on the calipers?
or buying the q45's, and returning the single pistons as core?

 

Q45 brakes you have looks good. no more hitting stuffs

i just did the same thing myself, stainless lines with q45's up front and new stock ones in the rear, what a huge difference it makes!!!

 

no more ditch witch bill.

 

OMG, these brakes are the best evaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaRRRRRR. wow, i have way to much brake for the tires now. i can make my passenger hit the dash with the seat belt on!! hahahah man these are badass. who needs Z brakes??? we need to do a brake showdown!!, although i do have to much front bias, but i will try a Q45 master and see what happens.
