brakes beside Z32

what brakes can you upgrade the stocks from w/o going to 5 lug? More stopping power is nice and I would rather not have to put out for a 5 lug conversion if I dont have to...

speaking of which...how much does a conversion cost? Maybe it is worth it...but would prefer not to if I can find 4 lug wheels and a good set of brakes w/o doing it.

I have Q45 front brakes on my car (1991 240SX) that cost me $70 out of a junk yard and Powerslot Slotted Front Rotors for about $180. The best thing about these are that they fit in the 15" stock wheels and are very cheap. They also use the stock brake lines and offer a good balance if you keep the stock rear brakes. Here is a link to my write up after I did my 5 lug swap. I also just got thru installing a 300ZX Master Cylinder and stainless steel brake lines this weekend so I am Officialy done with the braking side of my car. DO NOT! get the VGX semi metallic brake pads, there are peices of s***. They heat up way to fast and fade after a few hard braking stints.Here is the link.

Post by **93RPS13** » Mon Mar 08, 2004 7:09 pm

Post by **A_Rivers** » Mon Mar 08, 2004 7:09 pm

how hard is it to lock up the q45 brakes with stock rear? thanks

Post by **Chingon** » Mon Mar 08, 2004 7:09 pm

actually the big red and the big black are made by brembo and am pretty sure is the same caliper used in the f40 or f50 ferrari.
