Just be patient.  He's a very busy guy.  I know he'll get back to you as soon as he can.

Paul recommends '05 350z /w Brembo rotors.   His milling machine is down right now so it may be a bit till he can make the brackets, still waiting on mine to be made.

Yes sir! I understand! Paul did reply.....so Hopefully I can stack some more money, and get the brackets from him & rotors online  to implement my calipers too!

No can I add a topic here? what are you guys doing for the rear upgrade? and is anyone changing master cylinders or any other components when upgrading?

I suggest getting Paul's rear BBK upgrade bracket. It extends your stock caliper, and you use the 03 Honda Pilot 12.2 rotors and whatever pads you want. Going with just a front BBK should be OK on your master but doing a rear BBK as well is overkill on your master and brake booster.

Well my original plan was to go 11.3" In the rear iirc. If I were to choose both is there an upgrade to either BB or Mstr Cyl?

edit: damn Iphone posts

I actually have the RL's in the front and Pilot rotors in the rear.  So far I've been okay, but it's only been about 6 weeks.  I haven't upgraded the master cylinder or booster yet.  I haven't heard of anyone else changing out their master cylinder or booster yet.  What are other guys using Thien?

I've have my Wilwood kit in the front and Pilot rotors in the rear for almost a year with no need to upgrade anything...

[JDMJNKY]

Alright.... I was just curious and potentially over planning. I'd rather be prepared than be caught off guard.

[JDMJNKY]

a little behind the time curve but I ordered my brackets today from Paul. He said he'd ship monday! SO ECSTATIC! I'll buy rotors after a successful test fit.

You going to do the rear big brake upgrade too? 

[k24low20z]

got my RL break setup on..now i need to tackle the rear with the pilot rotors and the relocating bracket for the stock calipers...the RL's feel so good....well worth the $$$

In the future, I wish I was made of dough and could splurge like that. hehe How much does the rear run all said and done out the door?

[timot_one]

I did mine all at once and got the kit from someone second hand that changed his mind on installing it.  I know the rear rotors aren't that much if you don't get super expensive "racing" rotors.  I think Paul's brackets are like $120.  My guess is that you can do the rear upgrade for around $200.  I wish I was made of money too.  That would change a lot of things for me.

No I loved slotted rears though! My fronts will be slotted, so if this kit clears my wheels I will proceed, If not gotta go another route. After the front success I will save for the rear & slotted rotors.
