G4 Brakes/coilovers

[YellowTurbo]

Has anyone heard of these?

You can get them from Just Jap. they seem good, with all jap parts

in them. braided lines. They have to ok to pass ADR's

Also G4 Coilovers, they seem like a good deal. You can choose your

spring rate

Has anyone fitted these, reports?

me personally would stay away from G4. I like to say you get what u pay for and I wouldnt spend cheaply especially on performance brakes or handling products. With the coilovers I would prefer to spend that little bit more and get Teins or I know HSD are bringing some out later in the year which alot of people use.

When I had my silvia I saw to many things go wrong with mates cars who had bought the cheaper versions of products.

But that's just my opinion anyway.

Was about to post regarding these but it seemds you beat me to it. Yer so does anyone know of these kits on xr6t's? Ive never heard of "g4" before so I'm a little sceptical. Are they a good 8 piston caliper ie better than say an ap 6 piston or is it just marketing hype?

Cheers, Brad

I would not put my life on the line for "cheap" Chinease brakes.

You can have a 200 piston caliper, but if they fail, you could be dead.

The PBR (Premo) Brakes would suit 99% of peoples needs or the Brembo package on the FPV's. Both could be purchased second hand for less than the G4's.

Getting the G4's could also make your car unroadworthy as your ABS is not designed to pump up large calipers like the G4's. This could result in unusaul ABS behaviour.

Depends how big the pistons are aswell, I honestly couldn't see them being larger than the 6 pot brembo piston's (combined diameter). I enquired about running an 8 pot brembo caliper on my car as I found 2 brand new front set's for $18oo a set. BSM said that the only issue I would face was if I ran a 385mm disc like I planned such a large disc can warp & could push the piston into the caliper, leaving a real soft pedal on the first pump. They reccomended I ran a 38mm thick disc to combat this but they were about $3oo more per disc than the 32mm wide disc's. They never mentioned that the larger 8 pot caliper would cause a drama with abs system, they did however tell me it was overkill lol.

If anyone has ever seen these brakes in real life they will know that yes there are 8pistons in the caliper, but they are individually samller than say the Brembo 6pots, its like a 4.5L V8 and 4.8L 6 cyl. sure the V8 has more cylinders, but the 6 has more capacity

Yer I think I'll go for the ap 4 potters instead. Unless anyone is selling some second hand brakes... anythings better than the stock brakes I got.... MAD shudder!!!

I actually run there coilovers on my 280rwkw silvia, they are actually really good... had them going on 12 months and have not had 2 dama with them... I cant say anything about the brakes though as I havnt has any experience with them.. I was unaware you could get coilovers for these in g4's
