Brembo Z32 Rotors

[mxexux]

Alright first for those of you that like to get straight to the point here is my main question:

Has anybody here ran a 26mm Z32 front caliper upgrade on their s14 and used regular (non cross drilled or slotted) BREMBO rotors?

Details: Ok my situation is that I am putting together a Z32 front brake swap for my s14. I didn't want to spend the money on some fancy slotted or drilled rotors at this point so I decided to get some good oem style rotors. I went with brembo since the other choices at kragen are raybestos and beck arney... Here is my problem: I ordered the rotors for the exact model and year of the z32 (90' NA Z32) I took the capilers from but I got 30mm rotors. After some debating and calling the parts store a few times I took matters into my own hands and went to brembo's website to find that they only have the 30mm rotor for both the turbo and non-turbo 1990 z32. I am going to call brembo tomorrow to ask about this but I figured I'd also ask if anybody here has ever run this combination before with any problems.

i have them on my car, I like them. Id rather run a cross drilled etc but its still good.

so you have 26mm calipers and brembo 30mm rotors?

Unless you want to grind the shit out of your calipers, send them back. You cannot use that combination. 26mm rotors will fit under 30mm calipers, but not the other way around. The other kids in this thread can't read apparently. Idiots.

Beck-Arnley are just as good as Brembo. And cheaper.

Just get 26mm rotors. Took me a while to find the right rotor but I went to NAPA and they had em. I don't even remember what brand but they were blank and work fine.

Or if you have the cash just buy the 30 mm calipers and use your 26 mm ones as the core return. They look exactly the same unless actually measured.

Thanx guys (the last few posters) for the educated responses. I guess I'll send them back and get the beck arnley rotors. Thanxs again, there is hope for Zilvia yet!
