I really like the brakes except for 2 things. First of all, I'm having a problem with the front drivers side brake locking up before the front passengers. I think it has to do with my alignment, but I'm not sure. Secondly, if I was going to do it again, I probabally wouldn't do the rears. They look really nice, but in comparison to the stock 240sx brake, the Z ebrake sucks. I didn't put new pads in it yet and it may need readjusted, so that may change. But the way it sets right now. If i'm not too steep of a hill I can pull my ebrake till it won't go up anymore and the car will still try and roll. Maybe once I get the new pads in for the ebrake it will be better....

it's gotta be the pads, mine does that right now and I'm down a caliper, the e-brake won't set on the right rear.

Hurry up and get that fixed and tell me before I go out and get the rears too :D
