Breaks

[Sharas]

Yeah like theres a lot of cheap rotors in USA, but sadly they dont fit the euro spec cars.
Well black diamond's even more expensive, for now that ebay item is the cheapest i could find. I dont want to invest much in these brakes, because some time in the future im planning to go with a z32tt brakes swap (not that i need them or can afford them now ). So anything cheap?

a set of standard disks and gd pads will be just as gd

I could bet that oem standart discs (not that anybody else makes them anymore ) would be as expensive as some diamond black discs (atleas in lithuania). Anyways the z32 swap is the way to go, much better breaks for real serious driving, but i realy dont have funds for that right now.

P.S. Oh and a z32 brake master cilinder would make it almost perfect.

Not that it really matters, and I'm not trying to offend, but it's 'brakes' when referring to the car part, and 'breaks' when referring to something that's broken

What fitment are S12 discs (PCD?). Perhaps Dan at DB Power can do some Brembo M3 Disks for the S12 cheaper, as I remember he ran a group buy for the S14 crowd with redrilled disks (It is what I had on my S14a).

I'm running some of those ebay brake discs and they are fine, 1000000 times better than my old disc's, but they were knackered.

You can order just the fronts etc if you have a word with the chap selling them.

They were also cheaper than a stock pair of discs even with a discount from my local motor factors.

Any idea on the brand though? Cheaper no-name brands are likely to warp with any serious use.

Well mine are fine for fast road work on a stock S12 (using red stuff pads). Thats all I can say as thats all I know.

If you wanting to use them for competition I would personally approach a manufacturer direct and ask what competition discounts you get for running sponsorship on your car.

Oh thats i right, i totaly forgot that, i guess my english sucks a little .
I have heard of the m3 disk convos for s13, but if I remember it right, that was the front only, my big problem is the back, thou id like to change all of the rotors. Also dont you have to move the caliper further away when using the m3 rotors?

Also what about the EBC pads. A few people have been telling me that theyr latest products have some quality issues.

I didn't notice your from Lithuania lol. Would have tried being more polite about it

Not sure about rear disks but something similar could be done on the cheap I would think.

The bracket you're talking about is just a flat metal section to increase to make allowance for the different offset of the new disk (m3) and the increased diameter. Something you or a metal worker could make very easily as long as you have the correct dimensions

very unlikely to work, s12 discs sit inboard of the hub. I think z31 discs are 296mm (have to check though) if they are r33 gts calipers would be ideal to go with them. now stop giving me ideas
