Front Brake Upgrades

Aussie260z,

sorry, haven't had a chance to take photos yet, will post them asap.

As for the setup you are considering, anything is possible; all depends how far you want to go, how much money you want to spend, and if you're doing the job yourself or getting someone else to set it up.

The reason I used the peugot discs is because they were very close to the 240z/260z specs. All I had to do was increase the centre diameter from 76mm to 81mm and then offset the stud holes (took about 15min) I used the 260z hubs with the rotors due to the different thickness of the new rotors. The calipers were a straight bolt on with slight modification to the brake line. From memory, the offset remained the same or may have changed slightly, but very minimal from memory.

I can understand and appreciate the AU111/falcon discs as you will have greater braking force, but as I said, it all comes down to your budget and how far you are willing to go....

I've seen a convertible 240Z that upgraded the front brakes to falcon brakes (not sure what year though) and he actually used the 5 stud pattern. I'm not sure what was involved in the conversion, didn't get to ask the guy, but it is possible.

I'll post the pics asap.

Marc.

My Mad Z, sent you a PM

Anyone know of an alloy 4-piston caliper that will bolt onto the Z caliper housing?
