- After having a "minor" issue with my GKtech camber arms I have taken the advice of the community and gone for a different brand. Lets try out the "basic" set of adjustable arms from Hardrace.
Castor arms install today.
Super easy to do!
Glad your back man, you've shown me how to get things done on my s15.
Thanks mate! Glad I can be of some assistance :)
Glad you’re back :)
Bless you sir
The king is back!👏👑
(I was a little late to this one😅)
Bless you sir.
Good to see uve still got her!
sure do! no current plans to do anything crazy.
Good to see you back Pierson. I’ve got hardrace arms and have 0 complaints about them, definitely worth going rubber over pillowball for the street, it’s no hassle!
Thanks Lewis! So far so good! :)
What i did with my s15 was bought R34 front calipers, lighter than the s15 calipers and is also a 4 pot front, but the R34 runs 310mm rotors so its a cheap brake upgrade. However you have to cut the dust covers to fit the bigger rotors and also drill out the mounting holes as the r34 uses a M14 bolt.
Ah yes i'm familiar with these kind of OEM+ upgrades. I did a similar thing on my r32gtst - it ran GTR rotors which were 330mm or so? Something like that. I imagine anything with 'R34' infront of it these days costs a bazillion dollars.
@@PiersonWillis from memory for the two calipers was $400-500ish
Ah yeah not too bad then!
If you do plan on going for a BBK, the Evo calipers are relatively inexpensive and will set you back about 3k for a bolt on assembly including lines, BM57 and all the required adapters from Alpha Omega. If you aren't super fussy you can always look at 350z brembos, about 40-50mm larger rotor size over stock and will fill out the wheels alot more whilst still allowing plenty of choice in wheel specs. See how you go, as other's are saying the R33/R34 brake setups are a bit more of a better Oem alternative if you aren't keen on going all out, but even those parts are getting stupid expensive.
I was really just thinking one of those cheap BBK's like ATTKD or D2 etc etc. 330-350mm 6/8pot front's for ~2k.
Keep this channel going dude, great vids. Getting my S15 soon and discovered your channel. Awesome vids. Easy subscribe from me
Thanks mate! Kind words. Now to rustle up some motivation!
another great video man. when i had my s15 i ran slotted DBA rotors from Brake Direct and some project mu HC pads . the pads generated some mad dust but other than that no complaints about either product.
unless your doing a decent amount of track days a year where your hard on the brakes (not drifting basically) big brake kits imo arent worth it. if you just want to run up and down a mountain and maybe a track day here and there just get some good quality standard size rotors and pads and youll be good rather than paying 2k+ for brembos/big brake kits
some flashy brembos or some AP Racing callipers are always good for isntagram clout though haha
thanks mate! yeah 100%. I've never maxed out the stock brakes so I agree a BBK would be overkill most likely. I really just like the look of a large BBK.
Oh you know me - all about that clout. :p
Cannot disagree more. Have ap on the front end and projecmu hc80 rear stock callipers and being able to bomb into a corner is the absolute go + being able to pull up from 110 / in Oz kangaroo land
@@brent1835 all that is possible with stock calipers though...
Having big brakes doesn't increase your stopping power, it just helps prevent brake fade which unless youre being a total fuckwit on public roads, should only be experienced on a track
Just dropping by to say hi mate! Hope everything is going well on your end, what's new!?
Hi! It's all going well but I have not been doing much on the car of late hence the lack of videos. Taking a break from YT for now I think. Thanks for stopping by - hope all is well for you!
Hey. Hows the hardrace arms doing after 2 years of usage?
No issues so far mate, all is going well as far as I can tell. I'd be happy to recommend the arms if you need some more adjustability over stock.
Nice! I might be getting them to replace my worn arms@@PiersonWillis
