i'm trying to make my 91 s13 ready for the upcoming auto-x season. concerning the calipers, scca sp rules say i have to run calipers from a 240sx. in any ones opinion would it be better to get remans from the local autozone or try and rebuild them myself?? i'm not against doing it myself, just never done it before and not sure what all is involved. i'm still waiting on the fsm i ordered so i ask here. :help

if they are not rusted in place and slide in and out they are ok. you will need to call around and see if any one offers the kit. I do not believe the dealer carries them.

Yeah, most places are special order. Got mine from courtesy parts a while back. About 20 for the front, and about 30 for the rear.
