    Looking to sell the front brakes off my wreck and have heard they are sort after by silvia boys as a decent brake upgrade. Just wondering what is needed for this so I can advertise as a package.

    Cheers,

    Lower control arms, hubs, rotors, calipers. Well if they want to do the whole 5 stud conversion. They can redril the rotors to suit 4 stud, the calipers will bolt up to the S13/14 hubs.

    Calipers, Rotors and rubber brake lines that join the caliper to the metal brake hardline on the body (standard s13 caliper uses banjo fitting whereas Z32 uses the flare nut thing).
    If they are doing 5 stud conversion (on s13 front) then they will need to source S14 LCA (or get S14 ball joints pressed into S13 LCA), S14 5 stud hubs&knuckle and a spacer that goes around the shoulder bolt that goes through the strut/knuckle. Z32 stuff will not work as we run multilink front and s-chassis runs macpherson front.

    you can also sell your rear brakes which can be used for 5 stud conversion. they will need calipers, rotor, brake lines, the whole handbrake setup (including the handbrake lines 2+0 is better for S13, 2+2 is better for s14), rear hubs (NA) and master cylinder as the pedal will get a bit mushy on an s13/s14 which only run single pistons as standard on the rear.
