S14 rear calipers vs Z32 rear calipers for drag wheels

As much as it pains me to say this, join the "strictly drag 240s" page on facebook and ask them. fuck facebook.

but what do 240's in women's clothes have to do with brake clearance???

I swapped to a full 5 lug setup and already did the z32 brakes in the rear. I?m trying to avoid going back but might have to. Not really fantasizing here but trying to see what works best with the least amount of work.

Also, if I’m looking at weld wheels for a drag setup, don’t think I’ll have an issue financially.

If you completed the brake swap, wouldn?t you have the S14 calipers to measure the differences between them both? One caliper is a sliding single piston unit, the other is a fixed twin opposing unit. Spoke design plays a major part in this. Most of the drag guys have the simplest brake setup to shed weight.

I moved about a few months ago and not sure if I still have the old rears. Haven't been able to find them yet. Figured this might be easier because if I can't find them, I'll just buy a pair of s14 rears but keep everything else the same as it is now. Not sure if the bigger rotor with smaller caliper would be an issue but then I guess I can just buy a stock size rear rotor.

Trying to maintain better braking but might have to switch back to the old rear calipers for the Welds to fit. Then gotta figure out the front fitment after.

Weld RTS in 15? fit over the factory Z32 calipers. I have a pair of Z32 TT wheels on my car and they fit just fine (obviously). If you?re looking to go 15?, I?d be looking at the welds.

Yea, I was looking at the weld RTS. Real street has them listed for the 240 and says they fit. My concern was clearing the z32 calipers but sounds like they worked for you? I know the 15?s can clear stock s14 brakes based on what they have listed.
