Eriks Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Hi all, does Wilwood or any other manufacturer offer a front brake kit for stock Datsun 510, or is changing to a 280zx strut the only way to get better brakes? Appreciate your reply, thanks :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Yes you can run Wilwoods. You can also run J30/M30 brakes or even S12 brakes and then swap over to Z32 rotors and calipers. That should give you a couple options for European cars. Quote Link to comment
Eriks Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Thanks Tristin, that makes the conversion to 280zx struts seem more like a hassle if just good brakes are the goal. Are the alternatives above bolt-ons or do they require any mods ? Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 For struts, all bolt in if you swap around the top hats and springs in most cases. The one added benefit of the 280ZX brakes is the decreased width which allows you to run an additional -19 offset that you couldnt before. ZX struts are the only ones that do that... rest are close to stock or even more positive offset. Quote Link to comment
