Ok. How about we don't hijack this thread with crap. Start a new topic in chat.
I started this thread to figure out why some people had a mushy pedal and others have a very firm pedal, minus about 1/4" of softness at the top.
Also, where did you get the distance of 6'? Is that some imaginary number to try to make a point? AFAIK, nobody has done a 70-0 stop series with stock brakes, then swapped to z32 brakes, and done a comparison 70-0 series.
And what the hell is a "floating caliper setup?" I unbolted the 240sx calipers from the 2 bolts holding them in, and installed the z32 brakes in those same 2 bolts. The calipers are installed very much the same. Are both "Floating calipers?"
It's also not $1000+ for the conversion. I did my fronts for $450, and the rears can be had for $250. The MC is a junkyard item, or AutoZone. Most people only do the fronts, but even the whole setup isn't near $1000.
Finally, brakes are the most important aspect of any sports car. I don't car about what races you participate in, or anything like that. If you drive fast, or even modify your car for more power, you need brakes.
