Whatsup,

I can get a complete z33 front brake setup (Rotors, Calipers With Pads, Oil Lines, and All Bolts and Washers) for $100, which i think is pretty good.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this and know what would have to be done. Obviously I would have to get the rotors redrilled for 4 lug, but what about mounting the calipers?

Help?

Get custom brackets made to mount the calipers.

i say you get the brakes then invest in some rotors. I just did the swap and didnt need any mounting plates or nothing. I just bolted mine on and it worked just fine.

corean surfer - do you happen to know if that adapter works with z33 calipers? it sounds like it will be able to accommodate the larger rotors, but will it work with the z33 calipers?

they are specifically made to fit the z32 caliper with the 12.7 inch rotor.

we have not tried to fit anything else
