did you upgrade the MC too? I went with Alum front and rear 30mm. i went with Q45 calipers when my stock ones went out and loved the stopping distance and brake response... the only thing i dont like is my pedal feels low BUUT.. i found out the other day one of the front calipers is leaking and the rear one blew out completely yesterday....

lol bad luck that i cant drive while im waiting on my Z parts but good luck it happened now

lucky i have a sportbike...

Mine went to bills and 5 speed swap parts. I also had to pay like 250 to get my EG civic hatch i just bought legal, damn personal property taxes. I need a s14 non abs driveshaft, a pilot bushing and a throwout bearing and I should be ready to put it all in! I have been looking at the z brake swap but when I bought my car it came with new rotors and pads so i have alot of life left still. Let us know how they work out for you.

i'll check the FSM, im 90% sure the rear section of all 240 driveshafts are the same between auto and manual, and the diff is the front.

Yeah the rear part of the driveshaft is the same. The front is different.

For mine since my auto one was an ABS s14 auto driveshaft I re-used the rear portion and used a manual s14 non-ABS driveshaft for the front part.

I don't think the s13 and s14 driveshaft are interchangeable. Keep the rear part for your swap, just get a manual front portion.
