the rotors are 10" in diameter and 18mm thick right?

anyone know the diameter of the caliper's piston?

ABS cars are 2mm wider on the front IIRC.

What does IIRC mean?... I see that all the time, but I can't figure out what the acronym stands for..

I don't think the ABS rotors are larger, just the calipers. But I could be wrong.

According to my FSM, Rotor outer diameter x thickness for the front is as follows:

W/out ABS 252x20mm (9.992x0.79in)

With ABS 257x22mm (10.12x0.87in)

The rears, as I thought before, are the same.

20 & 22mm? hmmm. this might not be worth it then, but...

the rotors from a 91-93 nissan nx2000 (w/abs) have the same 10.1" diameter as the 240 w/abs, except they're 26mm wide. i haven't been able to verify it, but the caliper/piston may also be bigger than the 240's.

parts for the nx2000 brakes aren't much more than the 240. this might be an option for all the 4 luggers who want better brakes but don't want to switch to 300z's.

keep in mind, none of this has been physically verified by me. i'm only going by specs that i just happen to find from several different sources.

An option to think about is the JDM S13 brakes.
