anyone know where i can get the project u brake caliper kit, ive only seen the pads and rotors but i want the calipers also. Is anyone else running the Rotora 4 piston brake kit or any other brake kits. If there are better ones then the project u's which i know there are can you give your opinions of ones you have or heard. thanks.

PS: Before i forget i need them for the 5 lug

Project Mu is gonna cost your around 3500-3800. BOth Rotora and Project MU BBK's are track tested, but rotora is half the price(or even less) than the Project MU's. I think I know somebody selling his rotora's, email me [email protected]

I was thinking bout going that route but my friends that have 240sx's have that and i want to seperate myself from them. also i just like to be able to say that ive got them and they dont lol, but seeing how much the project mu's are ill more then likely get rotoras or like you mentioned above the z32 brakes.

when i start heavily tracking my car i might opt for a stoptech kit

except for chmercers wheel collection, which look good enough to make me forget handling

For shame, the guy is in my neighboring city (i'm in el paso). Anyway, since i'm not adding any constructive criticism, I'd look into the grand turismo package for the z32 from brembo. AKA SCC project silvia brakes.

you still need lines and double check if your rim will clear.

Z32 brakes make the most sense. You'd be surprised how good they are. Hell on my Z32 I still have stock calipers but have brembo cross drilled/slotted rotors and Axxis pads and they're enough to bring my car to a stop with 500whp. (Might have to upgrade though once boost is turned all the way up on the built motor) On an S chassis car they should easily handle the task of stopping it quickly.

Don't buy just for the bling....buy for the function.
