sorry we got "off topic" but i said 8 ft and actually the project silvia in i think sport compact car had a braking comparison between the stock 240 brakes and the 300zx upgrade (they did front and rear 300zx brakes) and the stopping distance was "only" 8ft less 60-0 than the stock 240 brake setup! and the 240 uses a floating caliper setup while the 300zx uses a fixed caliper setup. search and you will find an explanation of each. that little "bar" that you have to remove to do the upgrade(its called a torque member) that surrounds the calipers on the stock setup is the major component of a floating caliper setup (which are proven to be more efficient than a fixed caliper setup) because that component basically multiplies the clamping power of the brakes by providing some leverage for the caliper. sorry for the off topic stuff but i was just voicing an opinion for what its worth. im not flaming anyone for doing the swap just pointing out there are viable options without having to drop all that $$$ on the conversion!
