Every now and then I come across a company that is likely nothing more than a guy with a shop at his house and some good ideas or part offerings with a simple website. This is that case. I'm not sure what the size of his outfit is, but he was on top of getting my order out and his pricing leaves me wondering if he makes any money at it. Either the case, I just bought a set of Z33 Track sized rotors and adapter brackets for my Z32 brakes. The price is unbeatable and the quality was everything you would hope it to be (realizing it's just a small machined bracket).

The guys name is Edan and he offers all sorts of brake and suspension parts for early Z car, 510's and S-chassis alike. If you've never heard of them, give them a look.

I'm a fan and they're worth putting the word out for.

Seems pretty solid. I'd imagine his brake kits are gonna blow up soon, in a good way. Would've been convenient if I didn't have to piece together my rear z32 swap

Does this z33 rotor and bracket combo leave that big gap of unused brake pads as well?

and...?

They all leave a gap since the pad size of the Z32 caliper is simply smaller, but that doesn't mean that you can't take advantage of the physics of increased leverage and it being a larger heat sink. I'm still bedding my pads in, but the initial bite on the brakes feels much better. I can't wait to see how they do at my next track day. Not to mention, they look WAY better in the wheel now (18").
