What's wrong with yours? I ran 35's on my MQ and it didn't brake like an Excel, but you could get the fronts squirming so the rubber was the limiting factor.

Probably easiest thing to do would be to check the pads and replace if necessary, then upgrade the brake lines to braided if need be. Much easier conversion than cylinders.

The disc are probably as old as the car........


REPLACE THEM :armsup:


pad design has improved also.........


so get some decent pads fitted up , not the general off the shelf run of the mill pads the local auto shop wants to sell you



If those 2 things dont help..... upgrade tha calipers to some smick 4 pot calipers, 300ZX / skyline etc :cool:
