    Anyone have any experience buying used Subaru calipers on Ebay? I am looking for some 4 pots and see some that look like JDM imports that look a bit rough. If i expect to replace the seals, are there any other problems that may bite me. I can envision the internals being filled with rust, but don't know if that happens or not.

    Area they 300ZX calipers, or 350Z calipers? If they're 300ZX calipers, do you know if it's a 28 or 30mm rotor? I've spent the last 5 years toying with Nissans, and would just use a set of calipers I already have and put them on the WRX instead of the 240 if they're the right one.

    they are 300ZX calipers. no idea on the size. I'm pretty sure the mounting bracket is different

    Ken @ KNS Brakes makes the adapter piece / rotor kit. IIRC the adapter bracket is $250.00 retail. Let me know if you want one.
