Front Wilwood brake kit on my last Datsun 240Z car was $800+ a pair. So it can get expensive. But are you racing or just looking for a little better performance incase you need to out brake someone or the police? Why a major upgrade, stock brakes are not that bad unless you are over braking. Huh
Perhaps some stock pads can be refitted with some aftermarket material like...Porterfield?

I've used their products for many years.

I've enjoyed how the Koups brake, but then again I haven't tried to lock-em up and find their limit yet. Dodgy

But I do like the very little dust build up compared to other vehicles. Lets see how long these last.Huh

RE: Big brake kits??????
Does anybody know of an aftermarket big-brake kit for these cars??? Something like 13" rotors and 4-piston calipers?? Speaking of the turbo version of this car, does anyone have data, pictures, spec's, arrival date.
