6MT.net Infiniti G35/G37/GTR Community - Good place to get some replacement brakes?

**GZire** · 07-01-2005, 12:14 AM

Who's got a good place to find some replacement brakes for a 95 Prelude? I'm talking calipers, rotors, pads, lines?

BBK is not an option, I don't need great or even good performance. I want something that doesn't make me end up as road pizza.

HAAAALLLLLPPPPPP!!!

you tried googling??? that's the best suggestion I can give you. If not, go on 1 of their forums or some SI forum since i'm guessing it's all the same thing...

Google and Lycos kick up a bunch of different sites.

I go through the whole deal and lo and behold I get led to sites that look extremely similar. So similar that they look like they feed into the same site (but the coloring and layout are slightly different). All the prices are the same along with all the parts.

I think those mofos must pay some kids to repeatedly search the sites so they kick up on these web search's radars.

I'm going in circles.

-----EDIT-----

Come on oak!!!!

I dont know anything about hondas.... umh what were the prices you got... I mean my brother use to work for them so maybe he knows someone who can hook you up... but i need to know what prices you got though.

and BTW Oak is out of town...he's with his mommy and daddy up in Mammouth...or was it Yosemite...anyhow he's there fishing with them... he's due back late tonight or early tomorrow....then he owes me a movie...Land of the Dead.

That's just it P, it's remanufactured or nothing. I'm getting jack.

Pads and rotors are pretty easy to find, but the trouble is the calipers. I'm pretty sure my right front is toast. The kits I am finding mean I need to buy bigger wheels (hey 15" were pretty big for an import in 95).

The car is on it's last legs, if the prices are too high, I'm going to donate the car or sell extremely cheap and let the next owner deal with it.

I don't like driving it the minimal distances I do with the ABS light on. Personally I like working brakes on cars.

sorry gz i just got back, these are the sites i use:
http://www.honda-tech.com/

http://www.honda-acura.net/

go to the forums, there should be a lude division. the guys really know their stuff here, they'll hook you up.

otherwise you will have to order from places like jcwitney.com, summit racing.

good luck, let me know what ya find out.

lol, I think I know what you mean. Sorry I couldn't be of any help.

**GZire** · 07-01-2005, 12:40 PM

Hot Foot, thanks but Tire Rack only carries rotors and pads, so calipers.

FYI my font right caliper no longer floats, it's fixed and regardless of one of the rods being bent or frozen the result is that I probably need another set of calipers for the front (since I don't want to mismatch the front calipers).

Oak, you are the man, I will check out those places.

Ru_G36c · 07-01-2005, 01:43 PM

http://www.partsamerica.com/

they list a few places that have OEM calipers but doesn't state if its remanufactured or new
