300zx brakes

[_BR1TT0N_]

Hi guys, anyone know whether 300zx calipers are better than the jdm non brembo 350z brakes? And also will the 300zx calipers fit the 350z? Cheers

If it helps at all the brembo brakes need to be drilled to fit a 300zx.

IIRC the 300zx brakes are only the same size as the 200sx,except that the calipers themselves are alloy instead of iron for better heat dissipation...so not really that good by modern standards and if your JDM non-brembo use bigger discs than the 300zxones,which I suspect they do,then they should be better.

IMHO better to fit new discs and top quality uprated pads to your existing set up if you can't afford to get Brembos.

Good advice

Thanks guys! Perfect advice! That's exactly what I needed to know, new better pads and gd discs coming up:)

I uprated my non-brembos on my last zed... and it cost me £700 for uprated DBA discs, Endless pads, braided lines and fitting. I should have just bought the brembos

 

...for a pair of uprated discs for the JDM you're lookign at £300 alone...
