EOI : Serious MA61 Brake Package + 5 stud hubs

I'm toying with the idea of upgrading the front brakes to something truly ridiculous (see other post) or keeping these.
Depending on the offers is what the end result will be.
What this package is (as per the monster BBK thread) ;
* Fully recond Z32 300Zx Calipers
* Metal pads (brand new - used to setup brackets etc)
* MS65 Crown Hubs - new seals and bearings
* WRX STi front slotted discs (DBA 4000 series) - 326 x 30mm
* Caliper mounts & bolts
* Greenstuff pads (still in box)
Looking at about $1,350 for the lot o.n.o.
Bolt on-bolt off (to RA60 strut tubes), will fit MA61 strut tubes, but may require a little massaging, but RA60 strut tubes are cheap and easy way to get neg camber as well.
Any queries, phone me on 042 111 9249.
Pics can be sent to email as required.
Cheers
Michael B

why on earth would you need bigger than 326mm? its a 1200kg car...unless your aiming for something like 800hp+ i strongly reccomend u keep ur current upgrade...put that extra money into something else!
My car will do mainly track work, and its only getting 330mm's MAX...

'Cos I got them at a good price, and the reality is that the car will do some cct work at Mallala, and that is one of the hardest cct's on brakes in Australia.
Also, I plan to do some laps in the Adelaide hills, and I don't want to run out of brakes !!!

i bet ya my left testicle with 326mm rotors u wouldnt loose brakes!
my engine builder uses r33 callipers on 316mm? rotors on his mustang with about 1300hp from a twin T04s 400 windsor. And he uses like stock GT brakes on the back - 287 or something.

Power produced has nothing to do with braking ability.
As mentioned before, Mallala is VERY hard on brakes. Try it and you'll see. The brakes will work very well, but I could kill them in 10 ior so laps at Mallala with the right tyres

I forget to mention that the above guy only uses the car on circuit, not around the streets

Doesn't really matter now, as the Evo calipers and discs have been sold pending payment.
Blake, as I said before, power is not the be all and end all. Despite the barkes and the track, the person can still baby the brakes and not use them properly.
It depends on dics material, pad material, balance, airflow, system stiffness etc, etc etc.
I think both setups will be fine !!!
