Probably not a good idea. Stoptech does plenty of research to make sure the piston sizes are correct for the car it will go on. They are essentially designed to work with the existing m/c.RB20DETodd wrote:get the stoptech kit with a z mc.

Wheels offset/width has nothing to do with brake clearance...Offset and width just place the barrel of the rim in respect to the mounting flange of the wheel. Brake clearance is determined by the actual design of the spoke, and wether or not they will curve around the caliper.TOPSECRT88 wrote:1. My front wheels are 2 piece 18x9 Hi disk +18 offset.

Most people (me being one) would say they aren't for any kind of performance application at all, I cant imagine any of these big brake kits helping on any ones 240 except maybe some of the more serious track cars.The stock calipers can lock up the tires, and unless your fading your brakes(just getting good pads is enough for the vast majority of 240 owners) the part that is holding your stopping power back is your tire.More brake then you need does nothing but add unsprung weight and rotational inertia.Spec-X wrote:what is the intention behind buying these brakes anyway?? drag racing?? drifting??

Its not 'if you wanted', its if you could afford it. Everyone would have 683mm of calipers if it was easy as -wanting- them.nismofly wrote:
however if youre crazy enough they can do semi-custom kits to your hearts desire...i could get 355mm fronts and 328mm rears with their ST40's at both ends, all with a custom MC, manual brakes, etc etc...if i wanted
Yikes, who'd he get those pads from? A guy named Rishie? The rotors should be 2 piece. The actual rotors themselves aren't too bad. I forget what cost is on those but it aint all that bad.C-Kwik wrote:There's little support for these brakes here. My friend has a set of Endless Brakes on the Z. The pads alone are going to cost him $240. I'm afraid to hear what the rotors will cost.
Shh its top secret. Cant wait to see those bling bling brakes on your car. Hope no one jacks your wheels and the big brembosa_ahmed wrote:pshhht less talk more show cmon cmon... n oh yeah i read the whole thread, just lotsa jealous ppl :P
