Not sure how much BMC cost but that might be okay but no way on the diff for $400, $200 is better.

welded > any other diff.

And for the calipers and such, make sure the rotors arn't junk for one. or just get new aftermarket ones(paid 300 shipped for drilled/slotted all around) also the calipers are the bigger ones, so make sure when you order brakes to get tt ones.

I guess if you like going in a straight line.

I'm so glad I took my welded out for daily driving. It's sooooo nice once you switch back to open.

Btw OP, that price on the diff/axles is absurd. Tell him to shove it up his a**.

ice on brake setup sounds decent. as stated before, check condition before. if theyre good, then go for it, they're a heck of a lot better than the tiny stock ones

hate to thread jack a lil bit. but is this stuff really that expensive from junk yards? i was gona go pull some j30 front brakes tomorrow. just the calipers. that wont be more than $50 dolla right?i think 150 for used parts that may or may not work is kinda steep.

if you're going to give out info, make sure you give out the correct info. ONLY 1990 n/a z32's had 26mm brakes up front. 1990 tt's and every model of z32 after that year have 30mm brakes. all the rears are the same size.
