Message	There are several relatively cheap OEM Brembo caliper setups that fit well on a Z32 and are excellent, affordable options; however, they need custom brackets that nobody currently makes. There is a guy who makes relocation brackets to fit the Evo Brembo calipers up front, but nobody mass-produces them and currently nobody makes them for the STI Brembos (the cheapest large aftermarket/OEM Brembo setup for the Zed, some caliper/rotor sets I've seen sell as low as $300 for the front set used, last week). You'd have no trouble making some money there, most brackets sell for $125/pair on the low end, to $250 if you corner the right market.
