will these brakes be an upgrade? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

the s15 brakes w/ rims<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/ebayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=601886524&r=0&t=0" target='_blank'>http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymot....r=0&t=0</a>.   Not sure if these fit and what mods would be needed if they don't.  Also are these four piston calipers?

s15 silvia K's brakes = z23 brakes.

Save your self some cash and just buy the z23 brake upgrade. Also be vary wary of buying "JDM" parts for sellers out side the US. There are boat loads of shanks that will take your money and run.

Yah, those are 4 pistons, that is crazy expensive though, especially when you look at the rust and shit, those have been sitting on a junker for a while. Would take some work to get them back to perfect condition..

Actually, IIRC, the s15 brakes are slightly different that z32 which is even worse b/c they you will have a helluva time finding pads and rotors.  uuninja is right - just go z32!

You may be right, I think that the s14 K's used the same as the z23 I just ASSumed that the s15 would be the same. But if you are after stoping power z32's will be cheaper, proven and parts/pads are really availible.

####, unless it's for show points, JDM is meaningless. Good stuff can be made anywhere. And, as everybody's saying, just get the z32 brake setup
