In Reply To	Personally i would stay with a 12.5" kit. posted by TwinturboZs on December 26, 2002 at 10:49 PM
Message	Yeah, I think the 12.5" would be great for an early NA. The stock brakes (especially on these early cars) were pretty sad for a car as nice as the Z32. But, $3000 is just too much for me to spend on Brembos and I really don't need them although I know I would love them. That and some nice 17s and some new tires would buy me another NA! Skyline rotors are 32mm thick, but only 295mm discs. The nice thickness does really help keep the heat down. The whole front kit is something like $1000 and the results would still be incredile over what I have now. Chip, keep us posted if you get more details.
