Guest 70datsun240 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 ive came across two different options i would like to go with for my 240 rear disc conversion. The one that the 280zx calipers and rotors bolt right up, and the modern motorsports rear disk cnc brake brackets. My question is, are there really any difference in these two in braking power and proformance? the modern motorsports adapters, will the 240sx calipers fit onto the stock Z brake lines? do you need anything else with these kits other than the brackets, rotors and calipers for a bolt on project? Any help would be awsome! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 The big difference is the diameter of the disk. The larger the disk the more leverage the braking system has. The 240SX setup from MM is using 11" disks. I believe the ZX setup is 10" disks. That is a big difference. If Ross at MM sells a kit it's been my experience that he includes everything you need to put it on. So I would figure that if you needed different brake lines he would include them. You might want to check with him directly on that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-ManQ45 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I have an '83 ZXT, on my V8 project car ('75) I'm going w/Ross' setup. I have lived with the ZXT's rear calipers since '92 and have no desire to multiply my problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
