The MWS rotor is 1.08" larger than stock...


Stock brakes


MWS Kit installed: Fit's any stock Z32 rim application, even TT rear rims in front, without thick spacers and expensive Nismo studs and without the expensive installation that goes with stud replacement.

Here's the info on the kit:

Made by Precision Brakes Company exclusively for MWS Motorsports to Michael Smith's demanding specifications, this all-in-one upgrade kit is designed to be the first kit anyone thinks of when considering an inexpensive but effective upgrade to their stock setup, where budget is a strong consideration and maximum performance is not needed for the track.

It is designed around the idea that one can have larger 12.1" rotors and better stopping power and can still use the stock Z32 rims and calipers with NO additional mods or hardware needed.

The kit comes complete with custom-milled one-peice rotors, and all mounting hardware, including a pair of 2mm thick spacers (if needed-- for the aluminim Z32 caliper, which is a bit fatter and thicker). These spacers do not require you to use expensive, longer, Nismo studs. They fit perfectly, with stock rims. The spacers are not required for all applications.


The kit solves all the problems of other stock-caliper/stock-rim brake upgrades like the 12 3/8" 3000GT kit -- which requires large spacers with longer studs, will not fit a stock TT rear rim in front and cannot allow for taped-on lead weights for true alloy wheel balancing. None of these are issues with the MWS Motorsports kit and yet, the rotor is still significantly larger than stock; 12.1" versus the stock 11.02". The effective difference in braking radius of the MWS Kit versus the 3000GT is only 1/10".

Installation is also the easiest of any brake upgrade: If you can remove your stock calipers for a rotor change and remove or cut your rotor shields, you can install this kit.

Make no mistake, many larger-rotor upgrades that use expensive aftermarket calipers are going to be a superior upgrade to the MWS kit, but for the budget conscious, being informed about what is involved may be the key to choosing which kit is right for you and at what point in your upgrade path.

All other larger, more expensive brake kits force you to buy larger rims and tires and possibly experience reduced pedal feel, due to a mis-proportioning of the master cylinder to the new calipers; or if they fit the stock rim and use stock calipers, you suffer hidden costs not included in the kit. This cost may be: 15mm hub spacers, expensive longer wheel studs and the installation cost of those components. Also, any time you use a wheel spacer that thick, you begin to introduce unwanted side-effects such as additional steering effort, bump-steer, and possibly fender rub when lowered.
