280zx Brakes

[motoman]

I'm not to this point yet but i was woundering would it be possible to get the whole set up for the rear breaks from the 280zx(dise stuts etc.) and the put the azc coilover on it then install that into my 260? The only thing i can think of is that the controll arms are different. Is that right. If not i could fab up some controll arms to fit the 280z disc set up and the 260z.

I have the 280ZX rear brake setup on my 1971 240Z. I don't think you can put the whole system (trailing arm setup on the 280ZX) on the 260Z. They are different designs and will not change over. But what you can do if all you want is the rear brakes, is use the system I have. I used a flat plate mounting system with the early 280ZX caliber (79) w/hat and later model flat plate rotor (80's) (small hat). There are other systems out there that are just as easy to put on (240SX). Just have to search this site for that info. I got my info from the ex-president of the Texas Z club (during the Colorado get-together world club meeting during the 90's). If you want more info on this setup I still have the info packet he gave me. I can send you a copy of the info thru the mail. Good Luck, Rich.
