Located in Los Angeles, shoot me a PM if interested. Serious offers only, don't have much time to be meeting up and having people flake. I'm asking for $600 OBO for everything + $110 IF shipping as I've been quoted for a 70lbs box.

These came off of my old S14 and were direct bolt on. Previous owner of the car modified the spindle by pressing in a bolt through one of the caliper mounting holes on the spindle to fit the custom brackets he made. Not sure if explained right, but I do know there's a write up from a Zilvia member on this conversion.

Another write up I found:
Yuki: cts-v/z32 brake swap finished! | Domo Factor (http://domofactor.com/2012/11/yuki-cts-vz32-brake-swap-finished/)

These calipers will definitely stop you in a heartbeat and have your passenger hitting their head on your dash lol. I was really content with it and wish I could keep it for my coupe but, it's way too overkill for my car.

*EDIT* If I'm not mistaken, you might need 17s+ wheels to clear these calipers.

WILL NEED A RESPRAY AS THE PAINT PEELED OFF FROM PREVIOUS OWNER, NO IDEA WHY HE DID THAT. :picardfp:

To my understanding they were Evo calipers, to where I sold them as Evo calipers. Buyer compared them to his own Evo calipers and were different. I called up the previous owner of my old car and he clarified the set up. To my understanding Evo calipers being red. Point being, buyer returned them and now I'm selling them again as they're overkill for my s13 and don't have the proper wheels for this setup.

Z32 17/16 BMC would give you the right pedal feel as I've read. Hence, I was running the stock 15/16 S14 BMC and the pedal feel was a bit mushy.

Basically everything besides the BMC is included:
-Cadillac CTS-V calipers (cleaning/repaint would be best)
-BREMBO Evolution 8 drilled and slotted rotors
-~45-50% life on the brake pads (ceramic iirc, since they came with the car when I bought it)
-Throwing in the steel braided lines my S14 was using
-Custom brackets the previous owner made.

What you see is what you get.

Proof that they do bolt on (pic of them mounted on my old car)

So, complete, but nothing for the rear?

Nothing for the rear, but definitely an upgrade if you have full z32 all around.

I don't see why not, since one of the mounting bolts needs to be pressed in. Once pressed in, the braket should bolt up without a problem.

Thank you for the pictures and yes they do stop real hard hahaha. Did you press in the bolt through the spindle also? If so, PM me pics of it please, so that I can post it up for those wondering how to do so. Thanks.
