Can't wait to see the photos when you put them on your Z :p
 
Those bad boys look well sweet mate.
Are you painting them
 
A lovely red or blue colour would look lovely :p
I'd love mine painted :)

40 a day! New discs and pads all round recently too. Note to self, save for a brake upgrade in a couple of years time. That aside, ran like a dream for a nearly 19 year old car.
 
Hi @NODZED what the score fitting them, do they fit the original cradle and do they take bigger discs
 
Owwwww nice love new parts

They're ///M calipers and I've got an ///M so I hope so, its a straight swap.I'm changing them because I have a sticking caliper and its a real pain. Not sure what or if there is a difference for the non //Ms would have thought the 2.8s and 3.0 litres would be the same size but I dont know TBH.

The ///M had different calipers to the rest, your calipers have 60mm pistons and fit discs 315mm x 28mm so not a straight swap for us boys and girls.
 
I said there would be more on the shiny bits today, and I learnt a valuable lesson as well

Several months ago I fitted some nice grooved Black Diamond discs to each corner and new Red Stuff pads all round and was very excited to try these out in anger, but I was a good lad and bedded them in gently, then came the first hard run ...and .... chronic brake shudder :( that just got worse :(:mad::mad:
To say I was peeved is understatement. Naturally I assumed I had a duff disk so onto the supplier who quite rightly asked what the run out was on the disks, well I didn't have a run out gauge so had to beg one of a mate. (in the mean time I went on the New Forrest run and got talking to @Lee who suggested that I may have a dodgy caliper o_O, nah thought I the brakes were fine before the new disks and pads, got to be a bad disk. So checked the run-out = 0 on the O/S just under 2 thousandths on the N/S well within tolerance.

Now I start thinking to myself maybe @Lee knows more about this than me :whistle::whistle: So bullet totally bitten and two new calipers ordered and fitted this evening .......... and guess what .......... NO brake judder :):) So here's to Lee who I should never have doubted, you are the Zed guru and thank you for the heads up (even if I didn't quite believe it at first :whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle::thankyou:

Hmmm My Lesson? Don't assume you know everything.:oops:

I'm off home now for a huge slice of humble pie=))

Here's some pics
