As I recall the calipers are from the 4WD gas pickup. Installation was easy. Use the later, larger diameter, TR6 bolts to attach the calipers. Th; /html/6pack/2003-07/msg00694.html (7,657 bytes)
5. Re: brake upgrade (score: 1): Author: GSFuqua1@aol.com; Date: Tue, 1 Oct 2002 02:27:30 EDT; Fine, if all you are looking for is upgraded pads. If you want additional stopping power I suggest you consider making the switch to Toyota 4 pots on the front and Alfin drums on the back. Or if you; /html/6pack/2002-10/msg00000.html (6,850 bytes)

I thought they were a throwback to the past when pad material was awful and you needed the holes to get rid of the debris? Also, doesn't cross-drilling result; /html/6pack/2002-10/msg00016.html (8,027 bytes)
7. Re: brake upgrade (score: 1): Author: GSFuqua1@aol.com; Date: Tue, 1 Oct 2002 23:18:11 EDT; <PRE>No, it is not a throw back but it does make a significant difference in stopping. These are used in racing all the time. I doubt seriously that they use inferior pad material.; /html/6pack/2002-10/msg00029.html (6,990 bytes)
8. Re: brake upgrade (score: 1): Author: Shawn Loseke <shawn@swo.com>; Date: Wed, 02 Oct 2002 00:37:57 -0700; Actually they are supposed to reduce fade. Fade is created by a gaseous build up between your pad and rotor from excessive temperatures while braking. The cross drilled holes allow two things.

They fit with stock pads. All they offer are light weight and cool looks. The aluminum probably disperses heat more readily; /html/6pack/2002-10/msg00036.html (7,361 bytes)

Lang" <lang@isis.mit.edu>; Date: Wed, 2 Oct 2002 11:45:51 -0400 (EDT); The 240Z al-fin drums are basically 9 inch drums cast in aluminium with steel inserts (cast in, e.g. non replacable).
