The last kit seems to be of a very good price and quality + you get Al hats.

The last option looks like a good deal seeing how much some vendors are selling the front z32 kit for.

I could use some overkill after experiencing the wonders that are stock S13 brakes.

Anything worth doing, is worth taking too far.

Way over kill especially if you don't have ABS. You will lock up more frequently with that much clamping force unless you have really large wheels with sticky rubber.

Nicely done!

tenkawa - Was that just a lot of bargain hunting and catching deals at the right time? While the kits shown seem like very nice kits, it seems as though piecing the kit together ends up being cheaper, plus you get the components you want..

And does anyone know for sure whether the 26mm calipers fit with the S13 alloy wheels (7-spoke, 15")? (sorry if I hijack..)

thanks,

C
