I'm going to install disc brakes on my 510 wagon. If you have installed disc brakes on your 510 please list the components you used including if you changed the strut assembly.My current plans are to use 280zx front struts complete with coilovers for the front and 200sx rear calipers for the rear.

Comments?

Thanks,Joe

i've done the disc conversion but on a 2dr. I'm not sure how much is diffrent.

I used 280ZX front struts, then 200sx rotors and Maxima calipers on the rear. Just make sure you order the right brakets for it to mount up.

Get some bumpsteer spacers for the ZX struts. I think you need em but they also do some good on 510s.

That guy makes good quality stuff.

oh make sure you upgrade your master cyl. I think a 78 280Z master works. Bolts up to the stock location no modification needed there.

Thats all I can think of right now.
