Well i almost got all the parts i need for my z32 30mm aluminum conversion.(still waiting on my driver side caliper from autozone.....they keep saying its out of stock ) But now its time for me to get some brake pads, im gona also get some rear pads cause they need to be changed also. My question is that i heard that axxis brake pads come with the shim kit, so you wont also have to buy that sepratly. Can someone verify this for me? And if so which models cause i need to order front 300zx and rear s13 240sx? Just wondering casue i dont wana spend an extra 50 bucks on a shim kit if i dont have to.

Thanx guys

i said 1991, and it doesnt matter what model...that year all 300zx had 30mm aluminum calipers....your also in jersey so your proly gona have to wait a lil while to get the driver side caliper as they are out of stock.....but its worth the wait

yes they do. They dont come with a seperate shim kit if thats what you mean. They come with shims already attached to them. So all you have to do is apply some brake grease to prevent noise from pads moving while pressure is applied
