I am going to buy the 300zx front brakes for my car because I want the extra stopping power to compensate for the 400+ ponies I have now....and of course the bling factor ;)

Anyways, I see the 300zx guys now have a bracket kit for 250 that allows you to use the 3000GT rotors that are 12.5 inch. Would you think those brackets would still work on my S13? I don't know why they wouldn't but was wondering if anyone has a Z32, they would possibly know if they would have any clearance issues or any other thing I should keep in mind. If it doesn't have any problems I'm putting those huge *** rotors up on my ride, I can't wait to see how she looks. :D

It should work, but be VERY CAREFUL of spoke-caliper clearance. Those brackets move the caliper 15mm closer to the spokes, so you need wheels with another 15mm of clearance.

Hehe
I've been planning on the same break upgrade.
hmm could you snap pic's of those brackets and post once you buy them.

Well I have some ghettoized FWD offset wheels. They are two-piece so I'm hoping that since they are set in a little they will still clear the caliper. Thanks for the heads-up, any recommendations as to what company and where to get spacers? Thanks.
