How much this whole setup run you? Rotors and Z calipers? This just for the front correct?

yes, this is just for the fronts..Turbomax95 is working on a rear brake conversion as we speak..
Woah, how'd you get those calipers, rotors, and brackets?

Mitsu rotors? You are running the 13" rotors? So you needed the adaptor brackets also? Where did you get the ss lines from? The aftermarket 300 ss lines are okay?

So you had to get these rotors shaved also. Nice kit.

yes, adaptor brackets are needed to fit the calipers. i already had the SS lines for my car. just had to shortened the tee a little bit to fit on the Z calipers. but an aftermarket 300zx ss lines work just fine.

Refund? Maybe it was bad installation.
