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

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.

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.
