LOLLLLLLLLLL ‘bad advice’ on son.
Wow thats coming out of you, where you never give advice except counter arguments against things you don’t have, never will have. That is the only advice you give , it’s always a “you will never need that, you ricer”.
Last time i checked your car handles shit compared to mine and it’s got coilovers, it’s got strutbars, it’s got lighter and wider, wheels, it’s got wider tires, it has a manual and an sr (which again should make it lighter) its also stripped like mine.
Your car should handle alot better than mine, but why doesn’t it? Cause you can’t drive shit, and funny thing is, I still have an automatic which I can’t wait to get rid off to fully exploit the car, as opposed to forcefluly downshift into 3rd, 2nd and 1st through the auto stick, which is slow and can damage the tranny, but so far so good. Well built.
Btw you’re a hardparker yourself, i came to like <5 meets. I am not building a car for you or anyone else. I opened the hood one time, and told its all stock except the intake which doesn’t do anything except make noise. Turns out most of the guys are not assholes in real life and you’re too much of a quiet guy compared to your dissing manners on son.
Just because you don’t have something, or never will have something, it doesn’t mean it’s useless and only for ‘oh you will never use that lolzz’.
I don’t consider 180sx/q45 or stock brakes adequate, not even 300zx brakes are adequate, they are to me the way the car should have been stock and new s14 years and s15 are stock with them in japan btw. Woopie do?
My father’s family taurus can brake better than a stock s13. What did you say when I said that a long time ago. Oh it’s a new car of course. Well guess what, I don’t want to be braking worse than a 2003 taurus. lol.
Your argument is always “you don’t need it, i dont have it, im fine” well good for you. Why own a corvette z06 or z07. To show off? I don’t think so. Not in my opinion. It’s to have a better handling, better accelerating car for one self.
“Have a different car”, nope, but just make the cars we have better for ourselves. I’ve decided to not sell my car or part it out to get another car, instead I just want to build it up and that’s it. I was going to go for a rx7 or s2000 and go from there, but nope… i already am into my car as it is. My dreamcar would be a 911 turbo or gt3, or z06, or the upcoming gtr, but nope, I’m sticking with what I have.
You were even against me having my 300zx brakes. As if it’s some massive upgrade. Please man. What bullshit. You were telling me you don’t need it even for your SR. Sorry but going ‘pshht pshhht pshhhht’ to 60km five times a day sure as hell doesn’t need even stock brakes.
And when it comes to brakes, can never have enough brakes, I’ve been saved thank God from so many situations where idiots in front of me smashed their brakes and spun out and thank God I was able to brake. Or even a while ago this one guy eratically moved to the left lane and almost had me hit him, thank God I had descent brakes and descent suspension to brake and move out of the way. Stock suspension and stock brakes would have had me killed, sliding, flipped over, etc… where human reaction isn’t enough if the car just won’t be able to react fast enough either.
Being on the cheap, gets you no where either. I cheapened out when I was getting 300zx, instead of getting something new. I should have at least gotten brand new willwood arizona kit. It’s super cheap and super good Whoever has it had nothing but great things to say about it. People who talked crap about it, just heard from a person that heard from another person rumor crap.

They are ultra lightweight (which is actual performance) huge rotors especially thickness (forget brake fade) and of course more and smoother torque and pedal feel. Definetely a massive improvment on almost 20 year old 300zx and especially 180sx brakes.
795$US + shipping is pretty much what I spent on my 300zx setup… and more in the long run. Instead what you would get for that money is, 4pot aluminum calipers, rotors (two piece), ss lines, pads, everything brand new, not used or cheapend out on. And it’s 4 lug, so no need for even 5 lug conversion (although that’s something i want because of wheel offset choices, and not honduh choices).
All I was saying is, if he wants to spend money time and time again and make mistakes time and time again, go ahead, because 180sx is stock replacement in my opinion JDM tyte yo… 300zx is just ‘above stock’, but not massively an enormous upgrade as they’ll still fade. If he is doing an upgrade go 300zx with HP+ pads and ss lines, good brake fluid (something you said you shouldn’t care about, which is idiotic, fluid is important).
Whatever… everyone’s on the damn cheap on this forum, that is why everyone thinks ‘stance is the best coilover on son’, its cause its the best cheapest priced coilover that’s available. Plenty of japanese and european coilover systems out there that are better but more priced.
