280ZX Brakes?

if you can spring for the big brake upgrade, go for it. However, my advice is to first find out exactly what the current problem is because if it is related to the m/c, booster or prop valving, you will be an unhappy camper after your upgrade. I am going 125-126mph and have no problem stopping with 82 ZX front calipers, 84 rotors and KVR carbon pads. I do have 11.5" Vette rear brakes but I have the prop valve adjusted towards the front.

 

Good luck and it sounds like you have a runner there.

What is the deal with the 84 rotor? Is it from a 300ZX or what? Is it better than the stock 280zx rotor.

 

Thanks for the nice comments on the car. I am slowly working on making it a little faster, but want to get it into a 240-280z body. 240 would rule due to the weight reduction.

 

Turbo upgrade is in my future.
