Hello,

I'm looking for recommendations on swapping out the brakes. I'm getting shuddering when braking and want to swap out the front rotors/pads ( this is my primary motivation and will be done asap). I'm having a hard time deciding on what to get as well as making sure I get the correct things.
This is just a regular daily driver that my family uses. I wanted something possibly better than OEM.

I wanted to see what others have gone with even if not listed below..looking for quality.
.
I've kinda of narrowed it down to ( if anything I have to get FRONTS done first)
Centric Rotors - what models?
Akebono pads - premium/ultra - I want great stopping power and low dust
PowerStops - kit (rotor/pads)

Any help is greatly appreciated


**edit** if someone can provide the proper measurements for the rotors that would be great

 

I Installed the PowerStop SPORT pads and Slotted Rotors all around with Their Stainless brake line Kit on My 2014 6-6 Coupe And they stop strong.
I did notice abit of light corrosion on their so called ''Stainless'' brake lines on the Banjobolt area of the lines only near the caliber.

 

I went with the Centric and Akebono pads. If not these it would have been Powerstops. This is just a regular commuter (wife's car). Didn't got with slotted or dripped. The process was pretty easy changing the rotors and pads. I did have a pin boot with a hole and was not responsive ( I replaced it ). I then bled the brakes. I tried an pneumatic brake bleeder ( supposed to make it easier for one person ). I don't think I did it right even looking at multiple videos online. It wasn't until I was done did a find a video with a better explanation on how to do it. The reason I say I didn't do it right is I was expecting better/firmer pedal feel.

 

I went with TL type s big break kit with 350z rotors... and tbh save your money

 

Cost?

 

For the sickbrakes adaptor kit + stoptech rotors and the calipers I paid about 500 bucks. The pads I got for free by taking my OG duralast pads back and swapping them. Now the look is awesome but the braking performance gains were minimal and I probably could of just got high grad pads and better rotors for 200 bucks and got the same gains.

 

Ok, thanks for the info.

 

Do you have the brake fluid pressure to really activate them? If you put bigger caliper pistons or multiple piston calipers on, you really need more brake fluid volume and pressure to activate them fully. Are you using the OEM MASTER CYLINDER?
