> 180sx brake rotors are 280 x 22mm not 24mm as far as i know, same thickness as stock, but same diameter as 300zx, so it should have similar torque, but massive fading. And ABS cars just have bigger MBC, more lines and such… in case of the 240, tiny slightly bigger brakes…

no they will not have MASSIVE fading… they will perform as well as the parts that are supporting them allow.

please support your info with FACT prior to posting.

Someone should just measure the piston in the calipers and post them up, we wouldnt want people spend money and swap out abs calipers for the same shit. It would help out, say they are the same, then you can just upgrade the rotors and buy a case of beer with the money saved.

i’ve got a maxima frt caliper(=180SX frt brake if goes w/ 97’ altima rotors, if i recall correctly) off teh junk yard couple weeks ago  
and also have a set of ABS caliper rdy to go on my non ABS 240  
the caliper looks almost teh same to me  
but the bracket is totally different, the maxima brakcet is bigger so will need wider pads and bigger rotors
