Ok, so me and my buddy keith (240 Keyy) tried to install my new rotors, lines and pads today. No go as BOTH of my front caliper brackets are shot. Both top pistons will not depress no matter what we tried (even BEATING on them for about 30 minutes w/ a hammer!!!) WOuld anyone sell me or tell me where to get these? It kinda sucks have Axxis MM pads, Goodridge lines and new OEM rotors ONLY on the rear while I have Brembo rotors, Goodridge lines and MM pads for the fronts as well!!! I am soooooooooooooo frustrated right now!!!!!

No go on the jyard front- both S13s are sans parts. I am scared what autozone wants. O'Reiley wanted $49/per rear brake rotor!!!! I really need one from a junked car here on the forum...

You need two rear rotors from what year 240? I have a 1990 and recently bought all four 300zx brakes to upgrade. I simply need to get the stainless lines and mounting stuff, then I'll have four rotors lying around. If you can wait a little bit, I'll sell you mine dirt cheap.

Wait a sec. What piece do you need exactly? I don't understand.

I just did front Z32 brakes and I have all the parts from my front brakes just sitting around. Everything but the rotors.

These are the little brackets that go over the rotr and hold the pads that the caliper bolts to. They have little pistons that can move out and in allowing the caliper to float. I need both front pieces and they need to have play in the pistons (like basically the pistons actually WORK) IF you got all your stuff, would you mabye take a pic and I could circle the parts I need if you still don't know? If someone could sell these to me, I would for real be your slave for all eternity!!!!!

I guess little brackets is not the best description, cuz they are like 6 inches long or so.

If you need them for the front I have the ones from my front clip that I believe will work. It is from a 180sx. I believe the calipers, rotors etc were all the same on these cars.
