Good luck, I'm going 13" cobra, just waiting for the rotors, got the calipers, pads, got the SS brake lines from Matt Blem, and the brackets from Jeff92se.

You can get 13" cobra rotors from any auto parts store. Unless you are planning on getting some special ones like slotted or something.

on the third link there, it shows that the brakes are clearing 16's, the 240sx se wheels or is it because he is using the 26mm caliper?

I think Im gonna go with the 300zx rotors since I already have them. I am mostly conserned with whether I absolutely need the SS lines, and if so, which ones to get. I am on a very tight budget, and dont want to throw extra money around.

I don't know how many times it's been said, but I know I've said it in every single thread I've posted about 300zx brakes in, which is alot of threads. You MUST MUST MUST MUST use conversion lines. Stock lines are NOT the right style to fit into the calipers and you run the risk of destroying the threads hole on the caliper like I did because I took someone's advice that said you can use stock lines.

im thinking it may fit if you get the 26mm calipers which i dont think anyone here on the org has the 26mm, we all have 30mm.
