Re: Project S14 240sx
Wow, that's a huge difference! Those stockers look like toys compared to the new ones! Looking great Kevin!

Haha they had orange high temp paint at the store, but I decided to go flat black at the last minute. I figured they would be way easier to keep clean.

Re: Project S14 240sx
I can't wait to stuff some stoopid huge brakes on my car, they just look cool, and like stopping on a dime. Car looks great btw, I plan to do an sr20det 1991 240sx coupe, with an s13 silvia front end swap, after I get done with dsm's...should say, if i'm ever done with dsm's...haha.

Re: Project S14 240sx
The car stops way better now, they used to fade at the slightest sign of a little bit of heat building up. Now they just keep pulling harder as the car slows down. I love it!

So true! My friend has a ca18 240 he's been slowly working on. He has the same brakes waiting to go on. I was amazed when I saw how small his brakes are though.

Re: Project S14 240sx
They're Hawk HPS pads, and just regular DOT 3 fluid. I didn't see a point in changing the fluid till I get the rears done as well.

Re: Project S14 240sx
Looks awesome! I think you should drop it a little more in the front though, get rid of the gap.

Lookin good!! Brakes really fill out that wheel, and like that exhaust a lot better than that mega 4" exhaust.

Re: Project S14 240sx
WOW, looking good Kevin! Does the rear have some mad camber or is that just the picture?

Re: Project S14 240sx
I was actually thinking about dropping the front a half inch or so. The gap has been bugging me a little. And yes, the rear has some negative camber, but not as much as when the tires were tucked into the 1/4 panels by an inch. I need some adjustable rear upper control arms to take care of that.
Thanks for all the compliments!
