for my S13?

(S12,S13,S14 or Z32)
front brakes: Wilwood SL4 13" 4pot
rear brake: stock

hey hary, you could've asked this question in the german SX-board

if i were you, i would go with a Z32 BMC, since you said your front calipers are compact in size i think the Z32 one will be just fine

maybe you should use an adjusting valve for the rear brakes, just in case if braking force on the rear is too much, since the Z32 BMC is designed for 2-pot calipers for the rear brakes.

Sounds plausible, but I thoght somebody here should have experience with the SL4 brake system.

Is there any difference between Z32 NA and Z32 TT BMC?

unicoladron · 11-20-2007, 07:57 AM

^-- i doubt it as they both had 4 pot brakes up front and 2 pot in the rear.

But the discs on front are thicker @Z32 TT

disc size doesnt really matter, whats more important is the pot size and overall caliper size.

oh yeah, what i just remembered, the EUDM S14 came with 4-pot up front and 1-piston calipers in the rear, so the S14 BMC may be better for your setup. i don't know if the size is much different from Z32 BMCs but brake bias should be better if you plan on running stock calipers on the rear.

Not even close. 7/8" and 1" aren't the same size.
