Default MK3 brakes solutions?

MK4 brakes fit?

Any brakes from large toyota trucks fit? (toyota truck calipers work great on 240Z's!!)

Any other options besides the super expensive like wilwood.

I think the fronts do but the backs don't or vise versa for the mk4 ones.

MK4 fronts are a pain in the ass to get to work

i'd do the truck brakes or LS400 brakes up front and a mk4 or IS300 twin piston rear.

the MKIV/IS300/Celsior rear twin piston calipers bolt directly onto the rear MK3 hubs... there is a bolt recess on the hub that needs some clearancing for one of the caliper bracket bolts... and the new rear rotor needs a slight shim between the inner diameter of the rotor and the hub itself.

the MKIV tt calipers wont work on our cars... but there have been people who swapped the entire spindle/brake system but it creates some wacky caster issues... so unless you plan on really driving your car, its not a very good idear..

your best bet is to find a machinest who likes you... then buy the Wilwood SL6R calipers and their mounting brackets... then take those brackets and your stockers to the machinest... have him machine an adaptor plate that will go between your hub and those wilwood caliper brackets. then as far as rotors, you can use the 12.75" corvette Gran Sport rotors, just need to drill 2 new lug holes to fit our bolt pattern... aside from that, bolt on, plumb them, and drive. you have to rebuild the calipers once a year though. the pistons dont have dust boots on them so you have to redo the seals in them. also, with the 12.75" rotors, the stock sawblades still fit if youre in a pinch. i only know this because a friend of mine put them on his NA-T car.
