ok.. i'm ordering powerstop cross drilled rotors from pdm some time soon.. and some sort of really good pads( ur input would be appriciated) only for my rear brakes.. they are bad.
but i know in the future i' want a Z32 brake conv. for the fronts.
i want wheel sizes to fit. i knwo everyone said just go with 17's but that's not true.. some 16's fit with the right offset, adn some 17's wont fit. i really know nothing about offsets. can u please inform me. i've got a 92 coupe.
(yes i already did search.. and it was not all that helpful, too technical speak to me like i'm an idiot.really i can take it wont'; get all defensive, i'm trying to learn so anything will help.)
thanx

Hey CT240, I just did this upgrade and im still running my stock 91 se wheels. I didnt think it would clear but it does and honestly looks fat as hell. The calipers looks as if they just want to leap out of the wheels... Dont make offset all that hard.... it can go only two was negative or positive. Jump on FA and do a search and you will see some good stuff... enjoy and if you have any questions on the brake upgrade let me know and I will try and help.

I don't think they have come out yet...I didn't read the whole topic. 300zx upgrade would most likely be easier to get your hands on, but you just have to worry about clearance and stuff.

Edit: I'm ordering porterfield (if I can F*ing find them!!<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> front pads, I'll let you know how I like them. LOL, spent $12 for my rear pads...$100 for my front <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
