well z32 brakes are 2 pins and 2 clips to get to the pads, and im pretty sure i can do it from the top also.


You are corect Z32 Brake can have pads in and out in as long as it take to remove your wheels

I would run these over z brakes because I cant pick my own z brakes. Im not driving 8 hrs to find them, im not paying $200 to have them shipped, and im not buying more wheels or want to run spacers. I really dont want used brakes or refurbished old brakes sold as brand new brakes.

they will clear with all the lugs and no spacer. false statements are ftl. I have my 615s on stock wheels most of the time.

well I guess if u got it, flaunt it lol.. 400$ extra is pricey compared to a 10$ spacer and 50$ extended wheel studs and not a lot of people are willing to pay that much. Although you can get your Z calipers rebuilt if they are used at nissan dealership for 50$ each to OEM standardz

woot but yeah im still going to go with this kit its brand new.

The tech nazis dont seem to understand this. Oh well, they can keep their smelly doody faced z brakes :laugh:
 
Use the money buy your damn diff already..... then bleed all the old crap out of your brake system replace with DOT5.1 buy some KVR pads and Rotors and you'll be fine.
 
well see that just doesn't work for my taste especially where i live now i need a good brake upgrade like the one kwkouki posted here cuase i actually can use the full potental with the roads i have here sorry.
 
Nobody here is going to max out z32 brakes w/ good pads/rotors/lines on the street or at any auto-x. In ITA class race cars, brake upgrades are not allowed so OEM 240sx brakes make due. Sure, a larger rotor can better handle the heat and provide more brake tq but it is not needed.

kwkouki, I don't think any of the "tech nazis" are ragging on the setup rather than just trying to save you money. Have you taken into consideration the fact that wilwood calipers don't come equipped with dust boots? That's an added level of maintenece and point of failure. Chances are you'll get a good 15k out of them before you need a rebuild and when you do, if you decide to do it on your own, it will take you a few hours each caliper or you'll have to send them out which won't be cheap. So if its time that's so important to you, wilwood calipers are definitely not your best option.

TONY MAC FOR PRESIDENT!

WILWOOD FTL!
 
they look nice, and good price for all brand new kit... but i like my z32's, and they were considerabely cheaper.
 
This thread wasnt meant to be a debate. I simply put up another brake option. People seem to never find full z brake setups, and when they do thay are asking insane amounts of money.

Somebody post a link to brand new Z calipers with equal 4 lug rotors/lines/pads so people can see exactly how much savings they will be getting.
 
Wilwood makes nice race calipers. I'm not trying to debate you though man, its a nice kit and should work out well for you. I just wanted you to be aware of what's involved just in case you hadn't already realized it. Good luck!
 
I havent decided completely against z brakes, show me where to get them at an awsome price.
 
Local Importers sell "Z" Brakes for around $150. Rebuild is $69 each. Brand New Rotors are $145.

Calipers $150
Rebuild $69 x2 (pointless in most cases)
ROTORS $145
SPL Brake Lines $45
