In today's video, the 240SX gets a 4-wheel big brake upgrade! Conversions like this are fairly common, but most of the time you'll only see it done to the front. I was adamant from the get-go that, if I did a conversion, it would need to be done to the front AND the rear so that everything matches. I ended up getting custom front and rear kits using WIlwood components. The front brakes consist of 13" slotted two-piece rotors and 6-piston calipers. The rear brakes consist of 12.2" slotted two-piece rotors and single-piston calipers that allow me to retain the parking brake. I also swapped in a brake booster and master cylinder from a Nissan 300ZX to balance everything out. All in all, this turned out INCREDIBLE! The brakes bite hard and are surprisingly easy to modulate. They fill up my wheels nicely and look stellar. Enjoy!
