Jap disks and pads vs UK disks and pads

    Is your car a Twin turbo??

     

    If so then yes the uk discs and pads are the same as the jap spec.

     

    If you have a N/A then these are different to the TT (smaller) :)

    See how confusing it is lol, OK its a N/A jap import, what disks / pads am i after for the fronts lol

    OK - definitive answer:

     

    TT (all years): 280mm x 30mm

    NA (1989-1990) 280mm x 26mm (different discs & calipers than TT's)

    NA (1991-1996) 280mm x 30mm (same discs & calipers as TT's)

     

    Take a look at my website: http://www.smithys-place.co.uk/brakes.php

     

    There you'll find DBA discs in the correct sizes as well as Porterfield R4-S brake pads. This combination works really well on a ZX if you're using the car for fast-road use. If you're using the car on a track then I suggest changing to Ferodo DS2500 pads - these are far more aggressive but also "eat" discs. Mintex pads are good for normal road use but not on track.

     

    Let me know if I can be of any further assistance or if you want to place an order.

     

    Regards,
