People need to stop sharing this info. It will drive up z32 caliper prices. Lol

haha i searched and couldnt find anything so all good and haha my bad!

Jonah, is this something u would consider? I made a quote at work when i was bored, its about 489 for rebuilt z32 calipers, 06 legacy rotors and 08 sti carbon ceramic pads, everything has warrenty and thru my job with possible next day delivery ;) @finch1750 only downside is the legacy rotorz are heavier then oem and the caliper piston is slightly smaller then oem side piston, any thoughts pm me

is this an actual upgrade?

From what ive read in the last 5 hours its not a omg upgrade but somewhat better then oem calipers.

Thats for the aluminum ones? Id prob be interested without pads (I would prob run winmax or project mu like i currently have). I'll pm you this weekend since Im out of town for new years

You gain a little bit of feel. The rotors are a little bigger so very minor heat capacity increase. And then they look better.

Thats including rebuilt calipers, 2 rotors, and some pads

It's an upgrade because of the larger rotors which would give better heat capacity and be useful if you're tracking. If weight is an issue then get lighter wheels to offset the weight gain.

I read all the articles as well. It's equivalent to a wrx brake upgrade but close to half the price.

As far as i know 1.5% of bias is added upfront with the gt rotor. But the rotor is a couple lbs heavier then stock so idk, i cant find lighter legacy gt rotors either, no one has a good afyermarket drilled rotor

I think dba makes some lightweight 2 piece ones for $$$

Cant seem to find anything in the right od tho. There all 294mm od npt 318, even thru napa with oem replacement rotors its 117 od 28mm thickness.

Hope u can see the prices, all i would need is the brake lines and adapter, everything else would be warrentied and rebuilt or new. Plus i work at a auto parts i can probably just get replacement calipers whenever i want, the core is whats killing me lol @finch1750
