First of all, Silvermine has been great to deal with. Parts were available as advertised. Also Edan was quick To respond to questions and no hassles at all. I appreciate the dedication to the z community
The kit installed fairly easily except for the caliper adapter bracket bolts hit the rotor. I had to grind down the head of the bolts and used a thinner lock nut to get it to work. New bolts should be included if this is an issue. Also the rotor is about 1mm away from the lower ball joint. Shouldn't be a problem but it really close
Looks great we'll made havnt fitted it yet, no installation book? But I guess I'm old and need to look online, many thanks
El kit para upgrade los fronos es excelente. Los calipers son libianos y todos los componentes alinian perfectamente. Estan instalados en una Toyota TE72 wagon con Konig rewind. Gracias
I had shoulder replacement surgery and it took me a while to get around to putting on the brakes when I realized that I had 2 of the same caliper brackets,after 2 years I called and Edan exchanged 1 for the correct 1 and sent it out no problem the brakes where easy to install can’t wait to get her running to try em out thank you very much
They fit but were very tight. I could not insert by hand, I had to use a hammer and the vibrations because of that moved the c clips around a lot, also the holes for the bolts were too tight and caused metal to sheer off when pressing them in and the indents to allow the half shaft to fit were too tight also causing metel to sheer off when installing. Its not a bad purchase they just need to get their tollerences tighter.
My ebrake cables were locked up on my 81 280zx, this kit gives me ebrakes back and upgrades my rear brakes to modern brakes.
No issues with install and all parts arrived.
The hubs on your axle will need to be milled down to fit the rotor. And you must have very good custom ebrake cables made. Just know that going into it.
This is a very well engineered system.
Simple installation… robust design requires no drilling or permanent modifications to my very original 1975 280
With the little modifications needed to the mounting knuckle and moving my dust shield it fit the r32 perfectly and works beautifully!
