turbogrill Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Hi, Is the 280zx late design rear brakes better than the early design? Why did they change it out? To be able to stop with turbo engine? I am so sick of the rear calipers on my race car. They don't work well for enduro racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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).

Chickenman Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 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...

Seems like Wilwood is the way to go! Was hoping that the 83 rear calipers would be magic... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenman Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Actually I wasn't sure if I was losing my mind... When you get older you lose all sorts of things...keys, pants, mind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
