Yea, sorry for not being more clear. 300zx in my case is only referring to z31 cars. For calipers in the front I'm actually planning to adapt 2nd gen RX7 calipers instead of going with Wilwoods since you can get a pair on eBay for half the price of a single Wilwood. I can always switch them out for something better down the road like Brake Man parts when I've got more dough.

Hope this helps!

You can get a pair of RX-7 calipers in ready-to-run condition for $40? Nice.

My set was $70 and in great condition. Less than the ~$150 each the the Wilwood 120-9703 parts run.

You just compared 20+ year old parts to brand new parts.... apples and oranges...

That's a good point. I'd love to learn more about what specifically makes the Wilwoods better if you happen to know. For me at this point, going the cheaper route means the car gets on the road sooner, which is pretty exciting

On a quick mockup of the S13 struts, some years back, we measured 35mm of bump steer.
The steering arm is way too high & no real safe way to lower it, without major machining.
Not the way to go in my book.
