Hey tuners, first time user here...i need some help with my 79 280zx brakes. I'm not too familiar with these things so plz forgive me.
My mech says i may need to replace my rear calipers soon as they are worn. They were leaking fluid and i had the seals replaced but i'm not sure how long thats goin to last. The problem i have is that the car has 2 different rear hubs on either side, one is i believe the original 79-81 and the other is the 82-83 model; they use different brake pads... I need to know what options i have or if any upgrades i can do with this opportunity and how much it's goin to cost? It's a stock non-turbo motor/auto but i wouldn't mind a little bit more braking power...
