Sarnie Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 Dont think you will have an issue with any of the volks having clearence issues... that is if you go down the volks route!! I love Volks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prescience Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Weird on that one presence considering they are are the same make... But as you say its design at the end of the day! Yep, do use the M4 on the odd occasion! Just gone for Endless pads on my brembos, not put on yet so cant tell you if they are any good. If you have a search for Brake Pads there are a few reviews on here and the other UK site You're right - just checked back; +22 front (9.5") and rear (10.5") on Volks Challenge. Does vary between makes though I love Volkswagens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Speak to Phil@ESR or Kev@Envy, they both have lots of experience of getting the width and offset of tyres right. I have 8.5/9.5 (F/R) and they have +30 offset iirc. Dont overlook brake fluid also get some good DOT5.1 (Motul rings a bell). Stock fluid tends to flade a bit after a good spirited run Theres also a whole range of pad/disc combos, again speak to Kev/Phil to see which match your intended usage and budget. Make sure you get down to a Reading meet as well if you can, would love to see that car when its done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock fluid tends to flade a bit after a good spirited run Christ, I sound like a hectoring s*d but DOT5.1 is OK as its compatible with DOT3(OEM) and DOT 4. DOT 5 is silicone based and is NOT COMPATIBLE with any of the above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Brakes are brakes and performance is what you are looking for, so I would suggest when you want to go down that route a telephone coversation with bigphil or one of our other traders will answer any questions you have. Wheels on the other hand hav an aesthetic, subjective angle. You need to find a set that you like and then we can give advice on sizes and offsets. I would suggest sticking to wheels that others have fitted to a Zed, either here or in the States, as no one will be able to guarantee there won't be fitment issues, clearance problems or that offsets are correct unless they've been fitted to a Zed before. I'd have a look round the wheels section here, the trader's websites and the US sites like www.350z-tech.com for ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 This is another nice site for getting ideas but getting a little out of date now - unfortunately no-one seems to update it any more. http://www.zmodified.com/gallery/index.php?cat=31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
