The best parts are from a '90 TT Z32:30mm TT aluminum calipers30mm TT rotor1-1/16 TT Master Cylinder

then get some braided stainless brake lines from Phase2.

That'll do it for the front. Rear is up to you whether you want to swap or not.

I don't think they perform any different. The only deturing factor is that they're pretty hard to come by as well as the pads for them. I guess they are the lightest though.

Second that.

You could also get the "Nismo" Q45 brake upgrade, it's plenty large and you don't have to swap MC over.-Chet

the Q brakes are plenty strong enough for the 240.. then you dont have to worry about wheel clearance and crap like that...

I miss being able to run the stock 15s for winter..
