I have tried using the search, but have only yielded things for sale, maybe i am not wording it correctly, so if this has already been covered please point me in that direction :o)

I wanted to upgrade my front brakes on my S13, now i know everyone recommends the z32 brakes, but i want to know about the brembos that are used on the sentra spec-v, anyone happen to run these, any special brackets needed, where to get them or how to make them. what about the specs on these?

thanks

Bro, I'm not sure which specific thread it is but if it's been done..The information is out there. Try google just key words in your search, you're bound to find information pertaining to your question...if not then it's probably not worth the time and effort as there are an abundance of z32 brake parts out there. good luck

No special brackets needed, they bolt right up. You need Z32 conversion brake lines...but other than that they are straight bolt on.

Its a bolt on for the brembos. Good if your 4lug since sentras are 4lug as well. The caliper is alot larger than the z32 30mm caliper. But its also heavier. So keep that in mind. Another thing to know, the Sentra Brembo uses thinner rotors than the z32, but the sentra brembo rotors are larger in diameter. So its a give and take. I would suggest a z32 master cylinder upgrade to help with the soft brake pedal.

Z32 rotors - 280mm x 30mm
Sentra Brembo rotors - 300mm x 22mm

Wow 22mm seems kinda thin, maybe it's just me.

from what i know the bigger the diameter the better ___ ... its too early right now to process anythoughts, even picking something for breakfast is a task....
