$450 brake upgrade kit vs. a $4400 big brake kit. Does more expensive mean more better? And is it worth it?
Donut bought two identical 350z’s and we have been modifying them to be fun, daily drivers that you can take to the track.
James Pumphrey and Zach Jobe are on Team Hi, and their Z gets the expensive parts. Nolan Sykes and Aaron Parker are on Team Low, and their 350z gets the cheap parts. Afterwards, the teams test them to see which components are actually worth spending the money on.
So far, we’ve installed coilovers and new wheel and tire combos on the 350Zs, and now we’re moving on to brakes. The ability to stop well is probably one of the more underrated features of a car. But if you’re planning some serious go-fast mods, like the turbo kits coming soon, or you want to turn yourself into a track rat, braking should be a priority. It’s just plain safer. And if you’re looking for the fastest possible laps, being able to brake harder and later means you’ll be shaving off time. So we want to see what kind of results we can get from a really basic brake upgrade versus a full super expensive brake kit.
This time, Nolan and Aaron are getting a lot less total stuff for their money. Their $450 basic brake upgrade kit just comes with drilled and slotted rotors, braided stainless steel brake lines, Centric Posi Quiet brake pads for the street, and some Motul brake fluid. Low Car is keeping its stock sliding calipers, which aren’t quite as confidence-inspiring as opposed-piston calipers. Their design makes them flex more, so the pedal might not feel as good as James’ will after his brake upgrade.
Hi Team is getting a full-on, 4-wheel upgrade with Wilwood 6-piston front calipers and 2-piston rear calipers, bigger 13-inch front rotors, pads, and braided stainless lines to the tune of $4400.
Is more expensive more better? Watch to find out.

For example the Wilwood brake kit cost 1000% more but only offered a 10% performance improvement (shown in 60-0 tests). There are other attributes like subjective opinions that will influence buying decisions but the % comparison is important.

Fairly cheap and bang for buck investment for what it gives you and definitely a big upgrade over the single piston calipers.

If you're getting fade on hills, you should really begin using engine braking. Fade should only be an issue in passenger cars when you perform multiple successive panic stops. Here's a video on how to engine brake: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jcd_p65nu9vYh4U.html

Like with all of these upgrades, it totally depends on use case. With constant hard track driving, good brakes are a necessity, not an option. One of the biggest factors in allowing you to get the most from the car.

I feel like the more cheap mods you keep on the "low" car the worse it performs so you can't see a difference between specific parts.

I've got Benbo's on my 928 S4 and they are incredible. The amount of control during heavy breaking really builds some unearned confidence. Smooth and very strong. You can really stand on them and you know when they're going to lock so you can let your foot off just the tiniest bit and stop in the shortest amount of time possible and if you have to break hard in a turn it's the same thing. I know if I have to stop I'm going to stop and without ABS brakes I find it much easier to control than any other car I've ever driven without ABS. The 928 is a big car. It's a heavy car. But I can really throw it around now, even in a tight parking lot.

@gamersgrubs2952 4 жыл бұрын

Break difference is all on your budget and ability. I had a ZX2 done right..kinda used 94EGT rear disk with Ebay rotors and stock Calipers...vs. Wildwood fronts and stock rears. Mine stopped harder and way faster. Some adjustments were made for rear to work proper....lol

It's brilliant that you guys are doing this (i'm and engineer / ok mechanic) A friend fitted dinner plate sized brembos on his car. They are amazing. However on another friends similar car with normal road use you cannot feel the difference. However under heavy track use the cheaper ones needed cool down time and the other car stayed out on track the whole session. It's all very interesting. Lets face it most people won't be hitting the track so the racing spec is overkill. But it's really nice to know that brake upgrades are one of the best things you can do to your car. (just not great for the person braking behind you) Great show, proving what we have been trying to tell people for years. However if you want to go balls to the wall amazing everything carry on. It's only money and if you love the look, express yourself with what you feel looks the best right? March to the beat of your own drum (disc) Keep up the super cool work and love the editing ! your video guy is doing a great job.

Can you do this test again but put race pads on budget build? It'll handle the heat better and a true budget mechanic swaps pads on track days

@sepg5084 4 жыл бұрын

they put improved pads on the budget build. i wish they at least tried to find a cheap multi-piston caliper for the cheap car. $400 vs $4000 is pretty obvious, $2000 vs $4000 will be a bit more reasonable. but if there are no $2000 big brake + caliper kits available, i guess this is the only way to test.

@demonslayerx061 4 жыл бұрын

Sep G centric posi quiet isn’t really an upgrade. The test would have been better if the same brake pad material was used on both cars. For obvious reasons the bigger brake kit will have a lot more consistent stops.
