What calipers are you using?

Forgot if you can use S14 rotors on S13 calipers.

i don't have the hubs yet, but i'm going to do the conversion soon. so if i were to use the GTO hubs with s14 rotors i'd have to use s14 calipers too? would it be better to go with Z32 rotors and calipers? also i've seen a couple of 240s in my area with Porsche calipers and rotors? if i were to do that which porsche do i take them off of?

Go to freshalloy.com and search for the porsche brake upgrade(or big red conversion). IIRC, that brake swap will be 1k and up...maybe even more.

Go for the brake upgrade
