OK OK...Yes, pretty much the worst pic ever, will update tomorrow.
I have been reading alot about the brake upgrades for the 240SX and of course went with the Z32 setup.

My two questions are; With the additional work required to swap on the rear Z32 brakes, Is it worth it?

Lastly, can someone give me an approximate value on the below kit that I picked up?
Z32 30mm Aluminum Front Calipers - Rebuilt and Powder Coated
New Front Pads
Z32 Front Brake Lines
Z32 30mm Front Rotors (Drilled for 4 or 5 lug)
Z32 Rear Calipers with lines and new pads- Rebuilt and Powder Coated
Z32 Rear Rotor (Drilled for 4 or 5 lug)
Z32 Complete Rear EBrake Assembly with cables
Z32 Brake Master Cylinder

I know there are a few "conversion" parts that are still needed, and can be bought pretty cheaply...but this is a pretty damn complete swap. What's it worth? About...

I think you would be better off not trying to sell it as a package, You will sell individual items quicker.

It's worth it if you're a driver or you want the bling. I have them and they made a lot of difference. Much much less fade and longer lasting pads if you drive leisurely.

If you already have the stuff, just slap it on man, IMO

From a performance/track aspect yes they are worth it.

On a side note and main reason I upgraded was, I noticed that when I went to larger wheels it took a significant more pedal pressure to come to a quick stop with factory brakes on my S14. I have Z32's all around now and my car stops pretty damn well.
