Why would you want them at all? They only use for them is if you want to go with the 26mm caliper and oem 300z rotor upgrade. Rotors are a pain to find for these 26mm units.

Do yourself a favor and just source the 30mm aluminum units. Or steel versions if you must.

I can get a set of aluminum ones for $80. Then all I would need is the brakeline and stock 300 rotors milled down 2-4 mm right?

You need to source the rotors specifically for the 26mm calipers but yes, that would do it. Along with the correct lines.

Wow. No brackets from you? LOL Direct bolt on then? Why is it hard to find the rotor for 26mm? What is the difference between the 26mm and 30mm caliper rotor? Thicker in width and diameter?

because the 26mm calipers are pretty rare. And since they are rare, I hear it's difficult to get the right rotor from the.

The diff inbetween the 26 and 30mm? About 4mm LOL. No dia differences.

I would recommend my parts but you are insistent on using the 26mm caliper. You're no good to me or to Matt. lol j/k.

You have one option with these calipers. 300zx rotor/caliper upgrade. That's it. Oh and 3-4 mm shave.
