Well I’ve never measured them so to be honest, I don’t know.

They feel pretty light so Im pretty sure there aluminum.

As for the pads, there just a stock brand.

That’s about the best I can do for details. Anyone is welcome to come and see them of course.

So just let me know.

Have a good one.

You can use this as a guide to figuring out exactly what kind of calipers you have.

I believe this lnk is in the FAQ section as well. Very informative/detailed.

How about $200.00? 😃

I can get them re-built for 2 bills so, you would have 4 Piston Caliper’s for approximately 4 bills and that’s pretty dam good.

Let me know.

Thanks and take care.

I bought brand new re-man 300ZX 30mm Aluminum calipers for $280  
taxes in from some parts shop. You can even get them from NAPA.

Are you sure these need to be rebuilt?

I don’t know. That’s what I was quoted but if can be done cheaper, that’s even better.

So for $250.00 then someone will have 4 pots up front. Can’t beat that!

definatly worth the price.

i paid 200 for my new Z32 calipers when i replaced my old…but i got a dumbass deal.

you can even get a kit a CDN tire to fix up calipers… much cheaper if you do it yourself…great learning experiance too.

These calipers rock ass. I have drilled stillen rotors on the 300Z, and i have come damned close to `accidentally` running a few reds, and it makes the heavier 300Z stop on a mofo dime. I couldn`t imagine these serious brakes on a 240! wow.
