Bought a pair of JDM Project MU drilled & slotted front Rotors
was told by Mackin industries Rep they are for a 180sx
-researched into what calipers i can use..was thinking 180sx calipers & maxima pads

Issue is Rotor is wayy too big for 180/maxima caliper which is 22mm..the rotor is 28mm thick & the diameter looks about 280mm. WHAT CALIPERS CAN I USE for this..
the width of the rotor is right n between a NA z32 (26mm) and a TT Z32 (30mm)

Please Help so i can get what i need

Oh and Btw, I know alot of you are going to say go w/ z32 setup, but car & rotor are 4 lug, keep that in mind

i would imagine you can get away with the ttz32. i mean, brake pads are meant to open and close as the pads get smaller, so if they start off a little closer then normal (if you were using the ttz32 rotor) i don't see that being an issue. just make sure they are fitted and bleed properly.

Oh and Btw, I know alot of you are going to say go w/ z32 setup, but car & rotor are 4 lug, keep that in mind

it shouldn't matter. the calipers are bolting to the spindles, so iirc they don't have anything to do with 4/5 lug. wait i'm positive they don't i've seen 4 luggers rocking z32 brakes.

q45 calipers worked..but just realized 4 lug bolt pattern is off on rotors ..they need to be redrilled
