After thinking about the Toyota caliper conversion I have a few
questions.
1. The calipers are from a 78-82 2wd pickup right?
2. Do I need new rotors or will stock work? 68 1600
3. Are they easy or hard to get?
4. is it an easy, bolt on job or do I need other things?
5 Is it more than stock calipers or cheaper or about the same $$
There is an interesting blurb on this in the most recent ZCCD (Roadster
makes cover - Yeah!) magazine. In the tech column they discussed the
merits of the Toyota upgrade for a Z car. It seems that unless vented
rotors are available, the additional stopping power is not that great.
This really surprised me, as I have contemplated the upgrade for quite some
time for my Z. Referring to question #4 above, it does not appear to be
very difficult. There are some mods that have to be made however. Can
anyone else comment on this? Also check out
