I think I can, but more research is required.


Also this involves purchasing no used/junkyard parts.

the best I can do is get rebuilt front Z calipers for $100/pair... to get lines, rotors and pads for $70 sounds like a pretty darn good deal to me.
Please, tell us how!

pads are not included in the 170 dollars. So it is a $170 + Pads conversion.

Actually it doesn't quite work out with the Z calipers. But what you could do is buy loaded infiniti Q45 brake calipers from autozone for $90 a pair and the discs are only about $35 each, and they work with the stock lines. So you could have a complete brake upgrade for $160.

It's just Q45 brakes instead of Z32.
