Upgrade Brakes

Hey guys I want to upgrade my brakes, if I will take rotors, brake, calipers from twin turbo 300zx do I have to change brake fuel cylinder and do I have to change anything else. Is it a good upgrade?

If you know some think better for about same price please le me know.

Thanks

It's all on you.

Some people leave it stock, some people change out the BMC.

Rotors/Calipers/Conversion Lines/SS braided lines..is all you need.

You can change it, you don't have too. It's up to you really.

It gives the pedal a firmer feel if you swap the master cylinder. I'd do it if I was swapping to Z32 brakes.

I'm just going with upgraded rotors, pads, ss lines and fluid.

Since your doing the 300zx conversion you will need replacment brake lines that go from stock to 300zx style.

Like helghast said, splparts.com

Like they said, if you go to SPL parts they have stainless steel Z32 brake conversion lines.
