Not enough information.

Basics:

  • year and  model of car
  • Modifications to said car
  • How is the car driven - daily driver, race etc

I am curious if the 1983 brakes are better than the 1980 brakes for my race car.

It's a 1980 280zx chumpcar race car running on non slicks, stockish engine and stiffer suspension (cut springs, swaybar, camber, strut bar,roll cage).

Didn't we discuss this on another Forum and I suggested going with WilWood Superlites on the rear with the smallest Piston diameter they had?  Or was that someone else. It was an Enduro car and they kept seizing the rear ZX Calipers. Had a number of suggestions and reasons why. I'll try and find the link later...

Yes and even facebook.

Seems like Wilwood is the way to go!

Was hoping that the 83 rear calipers would be magic...

 

Thanks
