Is anyone running a Z32 BMC on stock brakes? The BMC on my S13 shit the bed and there is a NA Z32 at a local junkyard that I was thinking about snatching up. I fully intend to do a Q brake upgrade later on, I have all the stuff needed but I want to get a feel for what the stocks are before I upgrade so I can enjoy it more. Thanks!


From this link I am assuming the pedal will be firmer and require more effort to apply the brakes but I will get more biting power from less travel. Right?

 

pretty much, yeah.

It will just take less pedal effort to accomplish the same stopping power as previously.
word of caution, take your time and test it out and get used to it, you don't want to get surprised with rain and not be able to keep your tires from locking up.

 

Cool, that's what I was thinking. The brakes are going to funky for a little while anyway the car hasn't really moved under it own power for several years. The rotors are rusty as fawk, and I'm too cheap to run them on a lathe I'll be running the car around my yard slowly stopping.
