Lewis Maudlin Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 OK, my drum brakes need constant adjustment. My little Z is a 355 with Edelbrock RPM Heads, Intake, Comp Cams Cam, etc. Probably a little over 350 hp. I need discs. What is the most cost effective way to go? I saw a set-up using 79-81 discs that I could get cheap and complete. The calipers don't have a piston on both sides however. The 82-83 is a 4 piston, I think. What are the pros and cons? Is the 79-81 effective? If so, I can get it cheap. Suggestions are greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scca Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 ummmmmmmmmmmmm 82 is NOT 4 piston..... i have a set of new nissan brackets here for the 82 style setup with oem rotor, if you want nicer than that and dont NEED a ebrake check out BLKMGK pics of his new rear setup..

BLKMGK Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 Hey now, I NEED an ebrake It's just going to take longer and cost a bunch more than not having one I'm afraid. Still, given a choice I wouldn't touch the stock stuff as it's not cheap and tends to be ugly. The Outlaw setup went on easily on my car and looks great. I have no doubt it will perform too. Hrm, can you do it in 4lug Mike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scca Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 oh yeah.. the rear setup as Jims got can be gotten in 4 or 5 lug. its a 11" solid rear rotor and both patterns are easily available.. the only funny thing is the 4 lug rotor costs MORE than the corresponding 5 lug one! only about $15 per rotor but its just funny..
