I've heard alot of shitty things about re-man'd calipers as well. Like them only having replaced one piston while the other three are in horrible shape and seals not properly intalled. I would stay away from them and just get a used set and rebuild them yourself.
Who the hell slots stock rotors? Your just asking for them to crack. Slotted rotors are generally usless on a street car but they atleast look cool and make people think your fast.
Have you ever done any of that? Z32 brakes tend to lock up and alot of people have trouble getting the correct master cylinder to make everything work as well as it should. And getting the e-brake to work is a pain in the ass unless you pull everything off a Z yourself.
I think you need to stop reiterating things you've read on internet forums and do some real research.
sorry, I assumed that because we were upgrading the brakes, there was an actual need for it, hence the reasoning for why the stock ones were inadequate.
you can hear just as many bad things about any part ever made if you look long enough. Just like any part you buy, new, used, re built, re man'ed, any part period, you have to inspect it to make sure it is actually in the condition you think it is in. again, I assumed that went without saying...
I agree with you there, who slots stock rotors? People that want to look cool and look fast..... you see it all the time driving down the road. Well, not really driving, unless you have super human vision, but you get the point.
And yes, I have done that swap, many a time. I've even put z32 brakes on rx7s and other cars. You're right, with the same crappy tires you had on there before the swap, you're going to lock up the tires much sooner than you would with the stock parts. With a bigger/better set of tires, you would be able to enjoy your increased stopping power. I was unaware that we were just assuming that we were going to keep the same pizza cutter tires. If that was the case, then you don't need to be upgrading your calipers or rotors at all.
I didn't expect you just know that I have a clue about what I was talking about, considering I'm using a new name and the general rule of thumb is "low post count, must be an idiot" so, no harm, no foul
