    Confirmed .. I'll be bringing my Z back to DA on Friday for test fitting the z32 caliper.

    Matt's prediction ..

    The z32 caliper will fit .. if there is an issue, it may just require a different "HAT"

    So look for updated posts .. late Friday or sometime over the weekend.

    Matt's pretty confidant that the z32 caliper will just bolt on, but he wants to physically test fit to be sure.

    Thats what I like to hear. Im liking this kit alot. even with the stock caliper. I already have longer studs in the front and will be needing a bigger rotor to fill the wheels I plan to get. It will just be a perk to have the z32 calipers on there as well.

    Driven Authority z31 BBK Update

    Currently available:
    12" Ultra HP Willwood Rotor(s)
    Willwood Aluminum hat(s)
    Caliper relocation bracket(s) *
    z32 rear lug studs
    * This set up retains use of z31 OEM caliper(s)


    Q-1: will this kit accommodate the z32 caliper? YES (Has been test fitted)


    Discovered today. Driven Authority's z32 BBK with the 12.2" rotor will also fit the z31 (requiring a hat change)


    Details will be updated on the Driven Authority website (http://www.drivenauthority.com). But if you can't wait, contact Matt at
    Dasales@drivenauthority.com (tell him I sent you)

    Yes! Now I can have Z32 brakes all around! One question that I have is that on the website it says that minor grinding of the hub lobes at the studs for clearance. What does that mean?

    When that information was written, DA didn't have any z32 calipers to test fit. So Matt thought some minor grinding could (worst case) might be needed. I don't want to provide WRONG info, so please email Matt. When I spoke to Matt yesterday, he indicated, he was going to build up the z32 kit for the z31 .. using my Z as the test mule.

    Again .. Just email Matt, he'll respond ASAP. The more emails he receives, the faster he'll work the z31 stuff. If you look at the DA site, you'll see lots of stuff for the z32. He spends his focus (testing, new developments, etc ..) where the interests/$ is ..
