Brad,
To use the Z32 calipers you need an additional 18-20 mm X offset on your
rims (the distance between the axle mounting flange and the spokes etc) to
allow for the extra caliper width. Also the mounting lugs are 100mm spacing
so GTS skyline struts or others? are the go, or make up dogbones to fit on
90mm mounting struts. I have used the GTS skyline struts and discs and
replaced the GTS single piston slider caliper with the Z 32 4 spots. This
is a relatively cheap way to get a good light 4 spot caliper that has
easily available pads etc compared to ARP, Tilton, Willwood etc and I
believe they are just as effective if set up correctly.
Cheers
Feral Errol
