normally the MC doesn't have anything to do with brake bias, but in the '90s nissan built the proportioning valve into the MC. if you run a MC without the prop valve, you could run an aftermarket adjustable prop valve. wilwood has several to chose from.

oh yeah, rockin' a new avatar with my fingers crossed.

you can have either the "f50 style" or the "lotus style" on their big brake kits, its basically how the caliper looks

damn, I wish the Email notifacations were turned on!

Anyhow, these are on but havent driven it around much. Yes the 300ZX Ebrakes should work with the EVO rear rotors, they use the same diameter internal brake shoes. Stock EVO rotors are very cheap, I grab them all the time from my buddys shop Gruppe-S, turn them down and their ready to go, or Im sure you can find someone on EvolutionM that will sell you a used turnable set for less than 100.

Havent even changed out the MC yet so I cant comment on brake bias just yet, but if it needs it I'll add a wilwood valve. I just got back from the Tokyo Auto Salon and have been burried with work, so I'll update as I can, but heres some more pics!

haha, well they mostly have WRX/EVO parts, but Ive been bugging them to carry more Nissan stuff. But Mike down threre is about the best dyno tuner in the bay area, he was completely shocked when I told him most KA-T/SR20 guys have to get their tunes sent to them in the mail and hope they work right without blowing up their car lol!

If you need any tuning done I would hit him up!
