sleepyzzz Posted April 21, 2007 Share #1 Posted April 21, 2007 i haven't seen the toyota callipers set up this way,and can't take the credit since i had another good friend to do the work. i like the way it turned out and hope that you all will look closely at the pictures. there are grade eight flat washers between the rotor and hub with grade eight bolts. then the other spacer to give clearance between the wheel and callipers are from my rear aluminum drums that i didn't need anymore.

240ZMan Posted April 21, 2007 Share #5 Posted April 21, 2007 I have a similar setup - only not painted as nicely as yours. Are those 240SX calipers in the rear?What pads are you going to run? Also, did you include a proportioning valve for the rears? I'll be curious how your front/rear balance turns out.

Are those 240SX calipers in the rear?What pads are you going to run? Also, did you include a proportioning valve for the rears? I'll be curious how your front/rear balance turns out.the rear callipers are 280ZX,and i didn't include a proportioning valve. i thought we would try it as is,and then add if need be. the calliper paint came in a kit,with cleaner,stir stick,tape,and a pint of high heat paint. i picked red,but in the pictures they look orange to me.i also added a new master cylinder with the double pots,for pushing the extra pistons.

sleepyzzz Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share #7 Posted April 22, 2007 forgot to add that i went with regular pads for now. my local parts guy, did a quick search for something better,and didn't turn anything up. after i see what i have, i can always up grade on the next set. one last pic, that shows the rear set up with the strut tower.
