They're from a 91 twin turbo. The rotors need to be turned, so I'll sell you everything (front rotors, calipers, lines) for $250. This is a really popular conversion. The rotors and calipers usually go for $550-600 used. It is recommended to use SS lines from PDR Racing because the 240 brake lines don't mate properly to the 300ZX calipers. I'll throw in the stock Z brake lines if you want them. Let me know if you're interested.

you're crazy! i got my calipers for 50$ each from www.car-part.com

the Brembo slotted/drilled rotors for $150 from heavythrottle. Thats 250 for calipers with fat ass rotors, not used stock. i've NEVER seen them gor for 550-600 used. Now unless you are talking about all 4 discs, all 4 calipers then thats a damn good price. I spent 50$ on a rear 300 subframe and snatched the rear calipers and LSD and driveaxles. add some rear slotted discs (120$) and theres a whole brake conversion for 500$ with the PDM lines.

I just checked that site out. They had calipers ranging from $60-$200 each. And they come from various salvage places; so no telling what they came off or how old they are. Mine only had 63K miles on them. The list price for these calipers are $506.81 each. You can often find much better prices than that though. As for used, I have seen a ton of people sell the front calipers/rotors for around $500 used. NEVER $50. OE brake pads cost $50, although I don't recommend using stock 300ZX pads with this upgrade.

As for $150 drilled/slotted rotors....never had great experience with cheap rotors. Good luck with yours.

I'm letting this stuff go for a very reasonable price. If you found a better deal, good for you.
