Before you replace your brakes you should read this thread. http://www.ka-t.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=25661 .... 2000-2003 Nissan Sentra SE-R 11 inch rotors are the way to go. You could get some cheap from a Junk yard.

As far as getting everything on your car you should find a local auto forum and post what your willing to pay to have someone come do the work for you. There are plenty of real trained mechanics that'll do all that work for you for around 300 in your driveway.

Man I'm still trying to find some springs that will be available in the next month... ALL the megan racing springs seem to be gone, and no new ones are being made for at least 4 to 6 months...



Doesn't anyone know someplace/someone that has these springs for sale and actually available?

*EDIT* (After Thought)

What about some Ksport GT lowering springs? I know where to get some right now, but I don't know how well they would go with KYB AGX's...

hmm...

*EDIT* AGAIN

The update is that I just talked to a tech. at KYB and they told me the AGX's (really all of their shocks) are made for factory size springs, but with the '96 240sx they should be no lower than 1.25" max or it may reduce the struts life span... Oh well, I guess I'll use stock springs for now, I don't want to reduce the life span of the AGX's...

SO now the next big annoyance... The guy who is putting my car back together for me can't get the powerslot rotors to work. He can get them on, they turn fine, then he puts the wheel on and no more turning... Enjuku is confused as to why... So am I, they are the correct rotors. The mechanic says the offset of the rotors is wrong, grrrrrrrrrrrrr... Has anyone else had problems with the powerslot rotors?

I had powerslot rotors on my old civic, and they worked fine. Are you sure you ordered the correct replacements for your application? Could be different if you have ABS or not..
