brake help needed


Recommended Posts

ok so iv done some looking and im having trouble finding a brake kit for the 280zx model car. I have a 81 280zx and the rear brakes are leaking so now i need to replace them with something new. Does anyone know of a parts store that has the for cheap? Autozone sells them for 91.99.

thanks

If your calipers are leaking, you can also just get a rebuild kit instead of buying new calipers. Chances are you won't be getting new calipers anyway, just ones rebuilt by someone else.

 

As far as cheap parts, check out rockauto.com. They have rear calipers for about $80 a piece, but their rebuild kits are only around $10.

They are comparatively expensive rebuilt for a reason...to rebuild them is a total pain in the ass. Several custom/specialty tools are needed, AND it's like a freakin' GERMAN watch inside (ungodly numbers of tiny precision parts). Nothing at all like rebuilding a wheel cylinder or a front disk brake.
