240sx doesn't have 4 wheel brakes, it only has two wheel brakes, but they look nice.

240's definatly have 4 wheel discs and no, I wouldn't buy those rotors. Buy Brembo blanks. I know cross drilled and slotted rotors LOOK cool, but they do absolutely nothing for braking performance and hurt the structure of the rotor. Infact, they'll often wear down your pads faster and cause extra noise. Check out the suspension forum for more explanations on this.

I've got a 90' and it doesn't have 4 wheel disc brakes. 4 wheel disc brakes were an option on the 240sx, thanks for your ignorance though(scruffy63) it was really appreciated.

ok I dare you to show me a website that says 4 wheel disc brakes were not standard.also tell me this if there is some 240sx with drums in the rear then how come 300zx brakes bolt right on to any 240sx. or did they come with rear drums too.

300zx brakes don't bolt right up to any 240sx, 90'-94' 240sx has a 4-lug pattern and the 300zx has a 5-lug pattern. http://www.edmunds.com/used/19...ssan*

Yeah, I was saying that they don't bolt directly up to it. You have to have them redrilled. And on the site it says 4-wheel anti-lock brakes are optional.

The 240sx has always come with disc brakes, every year, every model. Try going into AutoZone and buy some drum brakes, wont work. The option for brakes was antilock or not.

those rotors only fit ka24de

abs optional yes but 4 wheel disc is standard. Also you pay for what you get, I love by Brembo drilled rotors. My friend has had non stop problems with off brand drilled,slotted, and a combo of the two.

hah, so he cant post pics, because of course like we said earlier, no such thing as drum brakes on 240sx..

anyways, crossdrilled/slotted can help braking performance by evacuating the gasses from braking faster. but.. not very ideal to use on d/d, since you wont be seeing as much severe braking on a daily driver.
