So i searched this up and came up with nothing. but heres my qeustion

i want to upgrade my brake calipers on my 91' s13 hatch and i was wondering since i have ABS on my car how will getting the z32 calipers effect that? i assume i need to also get matching brake pads for the car and i'm cool with that but i'm concerned over the abs. will it delete the abs function? is there anyway to keep the abs with the new calipers?

plus are the rear and front brake calipers interchangeable. i mean can you put 2 rear brake calipers on the front rotors, or do they specifically fit only in the rear?

thanks for the help.

the rears will only fit the rear, and the fronts only fit the fronts.Also, z32 brakes will not interfere with your abs as long as the rotors themselves dont cover up the abs sensor. I'm not 100% sure, but i don't think it will interfere with ABS.tons of info can be found here http://importnut.net/300zxbrakeswap.htm

p.s. i have the full 300z swap (front rear and ebrake) so if you have any more q's don't hesitate to ask

I also have the full swap, including the Master Cylinder. It doesn't affect ABS too much. You have too remember you've increase breaking strength and surface area when the computer was calculated to operate with less of each. That being said, my brother has ABS on his 240 with full swap also (including MC) and he loves it. No complaints.

I have ABS with front Z32 brakes and my ABS works perfectly fine. Saved me once going down hill on a snowy day
