hey i just installed a set off brembo cross drilled slotted rotors, got some ok pads and replaced my front calipers on my tii. I was just wondering how fast the turboii goes 0-60, and what kinda improvement my almost thousand dollars is ganna do for me?? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif

a new master cylinder and brake booster along with stainless braided lines would probably given you more improvement since they are 14 years old.



The stock tII brakes kick ass as long as they are in good working order. Unfortunatley a lot of people don't replace the fluid and maintain stock parts.

yea i know i should get a new master cylinder, im deff getting ss lines over the summer. Half the reason i replaced my calipers where because they are so old, besides the fact that one of the pistons on my driver said was frozen solid. It feels good to see all new parts behind a nice set of rims,,i have to give my car and rims a good cleaning then im ganan take some pics. lol im so broke right now tho, i paid 142 per caliper brand new i was thinkn it was a good price for new parts.

$142 per caliper or per rotor??? I heard the 4 piston calipers from mazda were like 500 bucks!!



I'm definatley not undermining the improvement of upgraded rotors, it's just if you really want to make sure your core essentials are in perfect working order before upgrading rotors, calipers ect.



I know the stock brakes are strong enough to lock up 10 inch wide hoosier slicks under heavy braking. ask jims5543

that is probably rebuilt price with core return.



old doesn't always mean broken.

I haven't tested too thoroughly but I'm seeing .8g deceleration on the Gtech before the rear tires break and the car gets squirrely. This is from 100mph on downward because I don't get in the 120s too often in public. The car is a 2400lb S4 NA with 300zx wheels on 225/50/16 BFG Comp TA tires, stock five lug brakes and some funky looking old pads. I wish I could get the car to move forward at .8g.

How fast does it stop? I could have this all wrong, but . . . . . . . . stopping effectiveness is measured in distance, not time. Provided your original rotors weren’t warped, I don’t think those new rotors are an improvement in a single 60-0 stopping distance. Cross drilled rotors are supposed to retain less heat by cooling faster. Less heat means you won’t cook the pads or overheat the rotors as fast. Unless you’re pulling a trailer, I don’t think you can cook the pads or overheat the rotors on a single 60-0 stop. Multipe stops from 60, sure, there will be less fade. A single stop? Nope. Lastly, tires have a much bigger impact on a single 60-0 stopping distance than rotors.
