Possible? Maybe

Good idea? Probably not

Worth the time and money? Likely not

There are a dozen threads on the subject here - the concensus of which is it's not worth it.

It will be interesting to see your final product.

Doesn't really seem worth it. I bet they really don't perform much better than the one piston z33 brakes.

The rotors look smaller than stock.

sure thats what you think.... just on the upgrade of the master cylinder from a non brembo to a brembo. even just the master cylinder makes a lot of difference the bigger master cylinder more fluid gets pump.....

Dude, do it then post results. You're wasting bandwith with a stream of one-line meaningless posts.

Last I checked the Z32 rotors were smaller than the Z33. So it would be a downgrade.
