The Dark FX35 :: 2008 Infiniti FX35

Ok so after realizing that two studs from the H&R spacers broke I was pissed about it. Then last night I had heard a noise that I had heard a few days after I had the JBT BBK installed. Before it was on the front drivers side rotor and now it's the front passenger rotor. I believe it's again the JBT brake caliper retaining bracket that has lost tension on the passengers side. It's pissing me off that I spent all this money on this kit and now I'm dealing with the same issue again only that its on the other side now. It's making me regret making that upgrade.
 
i dont know how to put a video up in here so someone can hear it. I sent a small clip to Wayne at Phase2motors where i purchased the Kit from and he was going to forward it to JBT. In the mean time he's going to send me a replacement bracket so the pads wont move.
 
So after finally getting the bracket and the new brake pads from phase2motors my mechanic installed the pads and the new bracket and the noise still continued. He took everything off trying to figure out what the issue was. Eventually after hours of trying to figure it out he discovered that it was the rotor. Since the rotors are a two piece rotor the middle part that holds everything together is the issue. He told me it was moving around too much and that was were the noise was coming from. He was able to get the noise to not be as loud as it was before but the noise is still there. Now I just have to wait for the two new front rotors to arrive from JBT via phase2motors.
 
The wheels and brakes are doing great during this recent storm we had. I was able to switch to the winter setup just in time before the first snow came down.
 
I can't wait to finish paying off this FX in the summer bc I think I might get it repainted or maybe get it wrapped just have not checked out the costs around here in Boston. I wish my cousin lived here instead of NY that way I would get hooked up with a paint job
 
You're almost there! Wrapping would be ideal if done right and in budget, I always feel original paint is better in the long haul.
