Message It's main feature was the ability to be pushed under stock 16" wheels with a thin spacer. If you are running anything larger then stock 16" wheels you need to be looking at a better kit.

Sourcing the rotors is a chore and you have very limited options in the US (and even in Japan). Sourcing 2 piece rotors is VERY pricey for that kit.

The Mitsu EVO Brembo caliper is MUCH larger then the Z33/R33 Orange Brembo calipers and it uses a larger pad. I have that kit on my S14 and it is VERY good and the caliper is closer in design to a StopTech or BremboGT caliper then the Nissan OEM Brembos.

I have personally installed & driven on...

StopTech 13" 2 piece rotor
StopTech 13" front & rear 2 piece rotor (this is my current setup)
StopTech 14" 2 piece rotor
AP Racing 14" front & rear 2 piece rotor
Akebono 14" retro 1 piece rotor
Brembo GT40 Z32 kit 13" 2 piece rotor
Brembo EVO 12.75 retro 1 piece rotor
Brembo Nissan 12.75 1 piece rotor retro (all 3 R33 R34 and Z33)
R32 w. Project Mu slotted 2 piece rotors
R32 w. OEM drilled directional rotors
Stock caliper w. adapter bracket (pad over hang)and 12.75 Z33 rotor
Stock caliper w. JSK adapter bracket (no pad over hang)and 12.75 Z33 2 piece rotor
Stock caliper w. adapter bracket w. 12.75 Supra MRK4 Turbo rotor (and custom machine work to resize the hub)
Stock caliper w. adapter bracket and 12.5 VR-4 rotor

Point I'm trying to get across is that I have prob seen, installed, handled and driven a very wide selection of brake options for this car.

This is the set up on my S14 it dwarfs the stock Z32 calipers/rotors
