Message It looks like you have a BBK, what makes your decision to upgrade the calipers and rotors on your car so much more superior to someone else's choices?

Larger calipers can absorb and disperse heat more effectively while allowing increased component sizes.

Larger rotors allow for increased leverage and braking ability in addition to increased heat dissipation.

Additional pistons generally allow for a larger pad, which also aids in braking ability.

Do you think that the calipers Wilwood makes that fit on the Z32 are not available under multiple applications? Here's a quick listing from just one of their caliper designs...

"Quick-Silver nickel plate finish and Compatible with rotors from 1.25” to 1.38” thickness and diameters from 12.19” to 13.06”. Two body widths are available for use with .80” (20,3) or .99” (25,0) thick pads."

So what is your point exactly with all the trolling? Why did you get bigger brakes again?

You seem to have lots of criticisms without much constructive (tangible) feedback and it's growing tiresome.
