No, and No.

these kits are designed for this speficic caliper and dimension in mind. change anything else out and they don't fit.

I had no idea that pedal vibration can be due to calipers!? are you serious?! that sucks. that means after i change my pads and rotors, (hoping vibrations are all gone) i might have to go back and change my callipers afterwards as well? poo! but thats for the info!

And if you want to go to 13" cobra rotors jeff92se sells conversion brackets?

Hey Jeff do you sell the any kits minus the calipers?

This looks like it kicks *** on other big brake kits on a cost factor.

I used to have a 300ZXTT and the braking was awesome, can anyone answer these questions?? thanks

u need the brackets off the 300zx too.....he prolly had them....most people here onlyhave access to the calipers not the brackets so thats y they need all the hardware from Jeff......so as in my case i have access to the rotors calipers and brackets so all i am going to need is the brake lines....

Grave Digger,

You get the rings and brackets from Jeff92se, the rest you get on your own. You need to peek your head in the suspension and braking forum and start reading the stickies.........All of it is explained and then some.

Edit: You're vague on describing what you're trying to do. There are many different configurations. Read the Stickies as stated above.

This may identify me as a total newb, but if your Max has ABS, does that affect the feasiblity of this project?

BTW, to anybody wondering, get the rear brakes, they're essential and awesome.

Good, the guy I bought my old junker 91 max from said he had put on 300zx brakes.. and I thought he was bs'ing.. but this 96 GLE I just got definately has weaker braking than that 91! Could be other things I supposed though.
