Does this brake kit change the offset of a 95 S14 SE? The offset is suppose to be +40 right? So does using this kit change that? Also these are 13" brakes so they should fit in 18" rims right?

Thanks

No idea sorry, but those are some slick breaks!

why would a new rotr change your offset? your offset is determined in your wheels no the rotors.

also that kit is 3000 bucks! pahhhhhh <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/notify.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':notify:'>  just grab some z32 calipers rotors and steel lines and your done. alottttttttttttttt cheaper i did my whole brake upgrade for around 300 bucks

It is the calipers that might not clear your wheels depending on their design.
But that kit is a waste of money.

I'm wondering about the kit because I'm getting my business license and so I can get a better deal hopefully, it says big discount for dealers so...  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'>  let me know if you're interesting in any parts.

The reason I would want them is that they're 13" rotors  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

I'll look into the 300zx brakes too. Is there a kit for the conversion or what? Is there also something for the rear brakes?

You should check out PDM Racing.  They have a kit to convert the front brakes to 300zx.  It looks like you get the same stuff with the 300zx brake kit (4 piston calipers, braided steel lines, rotors, etc) as you would with the Brembo kit for about $2000 less.
No kit that I know of yet for the rear brakes but PDM is working on one.  I think others have done it themselves though.
