240hoke Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Hey guys, almost done with my brake swap, all i got left is some brake line work. Here's some pics: http://www.geocities.com/datsun260zt/pics.html Specs: vette calipers billit hubs SFZ/280zx rotors performance friction pads Swain coating custom mounting brackets weight wise i cut 20 lbs off the front brakes and who knows how much off the rear. This setup wasn't desgined by me i bought it from Al moore and am mouting it one my car. Lemme know what you guys think. i haven't felt the stopping power yet because im not finished with all the lines..... but i have confidence ; ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow--that totally made a difference on the unsprung weight of your car. I'd love to see some stats on what just the weight savings alone will do for handling over a variety of surfaces. As for Vette brakes--you must have it all, huh? Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240hoke Posted July 27, 2003 Author Share Posted July 27, 2003 Hey guys thanks for the comments. I still havent had a chance to try them out because i was outta town, hopefully monday i will be able to finish plumbing in my proprtioning vavles and my line-lock. as for the money. i got a really good price on them because the guy i bought them from was updating to corvete C5 brakes on his turboZ (13in). I know he mentioned the hubs were $1,000. The calipers are stock 87 vette's with swain coating's and Performance friction pads, the rear rotors are stock 280zx but lightened. I am also using 2 willwood proportioning valves one for the front and one for the rear so i can rid the car of the stock datsun unions and proportioning vavles. Also for the parking brake im using a moroso line lock. I will do a write up hopefully on the proportioning valves because so many guys are going to rear discs. -Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
