Message Here's what you want to know:

Stock calipers.

Fits ALL stock Z rims with low-profile alloy taped weights.
(except the very early autumn 1989 front rims)

12.1" in diameter.


Stock is 11.1" and the 3000GT kit is only 12 3/8" ( 3000GT is not 12 1/2 " like people say). So, for a difference in actual braking radius, the MWS kit is barely 1/10' inch smaller than the 3000GT kit. This was necessary, in order to achieve the fitment goals.

The rotors are custom cut to fit, and no off-the shelf rotor will fit. You will have to buy replacements from MWS. Slotted and drilled are both available as well, for an additional fee.

The kit has none of the fitment problems the 3000GT kit has, no thick, expensive spacers and Nismo studs for stock rims.

Fitment on your aftermarket rim is your responsibility. Don't ask me..., because until you try it and write me back, I can't test every rim to see how they fit. Most of you aftermarket rim guys use spacers anyways...

Price: $525 + shipping, (and tax, if you're from California)...
for the first 10 kits ONLY.

After the first 10 are sold, the price goes up to the retail price of $550 + ship and California tax.

For now, email me, or call the shop and pay via Paypal or Credit card. mwsmotorsports.com will have an e-commerce solution, but not for a week or two.

Go to the main page of mwsmotorsports.com for the entire brake kit development story. This kit is not intended for racing, but everyone seems to want to buy it for that, so we tested it on two cars with two very experienced Z drivers at Thunderhill, using Hawk Blues.

The teaser vid has been extended to 9 minutes.

Still a very rough cut. I know it needs brake testing numbers, I know it needs more info. It will get there. My video editor had to go on vacation, so we slapped this together. Next week there will be a nice MWS TV episode and a good installation vid.


Enjoy,
