BBK Options - Clarifications

What I understand:

Both Matt and Jeff's kits use 30mm 300zx calipers via relocation brackets.
Matt's kit utilizes 6th gen rotors.
Jeff's kit uses redrilled or spaced cobra rotors.

Question:
Can either of these kits accommodate 300zx rotors?...Or the two piece 300zx rotors automax95 is selling? (I realize he is also selling 2 piece cobra's).

Thanks in advance.

If you were to use Z32 rotors you would not need a relocation bracket, just the conversion brake lines. The bracket is to fit the bigger Cobra rotor (hence the BBK).

I'll drop this here as well:

What year car?
the stock 2000-2001 rotors are larger diameter than the Z32 rotors and 26mm thick.
02-03 are an inch larger, but 24mm thick.
04-08 are 12.6" x 28mm.

the only good thing about the setup you have is the Z calipers, which have better selection of high performance brake pads.

Any reasonable upgrades for the 5.5 Gens?Or does anyone REALLY know how to fix the "loose fitting" pad issue.This happened when i had to replace the rear calipers because one would not screw back in.I think it is a Wagner remanned caliper.Even took back to my dealer where there they assured me that it was the fault of the aftermarket brake pads.After $400 and new pads and shim kit,it is doing it again after 2 months.Sounds like something is rolling around in the trunk when you hit a bump.REALLY FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to say this as nice as possible but you are posting this in the wrong place mate. Notice the thread title.

That sounds more like an upper strut mount issue with your rear suspension. For way less than 400 bones I'm sure you could have a local orger take a look at it. Check your regional forum (link).

New to the board here sorry.It is not the strut mount.The noise goes away when you pull on the e-brake,just like the TSB states.Have been all over the board and back looking for threads or upgrades for rear brakes.
