Hi guys, yet another brake upgrade question. I promise I searched and found some information but none that cover this exact question.
What I have are 32mm R32 GT-R brake calipers.
What I would like to know is do I have to use 32mm x 296mm GTR discs or can I get away with 30mm x 280mm 300ZX discs? I've already confirmed that the pistons in the calipers are fine with the 30mm width, but I'm not sure if the pads will grab the disc correctly if it's a smaller circumference...
We're talking a savings of several hundred dollars if I can use the ZX discs. I'm sure that heat disipation in the ZX discs is slightly less, but can't be that different, especially since my car weighs several hundred lbs less than the 300 or the Skyline.
Has anyone done this?
