You can re-drill 300ZX/Skyline brakes or if you don't want to re-drill anything you could get S13 Silvia K/180SX brakes. Other than that there's always aftermarket kits like Endless, Project Mu....

I think Rotora...and Brembo also have brake upgrades..but those are HELLA expensive.

RS13

any cheap ones for a 89 180??

-HyJynX-

You can re-drill it for 4 lug if u dont wanna do the 5 lug conversion..They got the conversion at PDM and ebay..do a lil searcha nd u might find more places

Not to be a ball buster but it is going to be hard to keep cheap and best in the same sentance when looking for brakes.

Why not try some slotted rotors and pads for now?

Have you tried slotted rotors and pads?

Are you experiencing fade?

well i dont think i said cheap and best but if i did i didnt mean to, i just wanna know how much a complete upgrade will run me with a 5 lug conversion

StanBo

No problem holmes. My 5 lug swap is running me close to 2k right now but I had to swap out close to 30 wheels from 4 lug to 5 lug.

Here is a short list:

S14 5 lug front hubs and knuckles
Z32 5 lug rear hubs and carriers
Moog S14 ball joints
ARP extended studs rear
Griffen extended studs front
Kyogen open face Lugs
Custom billet hub centric spacers (20mm front 15mm rear)

Brakes:
300zx TT 30mm front calipers
300zx TT rear calipers
300zx TT brake master cylinder
Goodridge stainless steel braided brake lines - 240SX to Z32 conversion
Brembo cross drilled & slotted rotors
Emergency brake line conversion

Here is the full list of my mods with some silly *** pictures of me and my car.

Go for slotted rotors and some pads. SS lines would also help and a good bleed.

Check your rears because they might be hurting. As we change all of our guys brakes we find that the rears are shot.
