i remember reading another thread on this recently. i think it was deemed a project too expensive and too much work to be worth it.

do the legend caliper swap and call it a day. i'd be willing to bet its just as effective (if not more so) and a helluva lot cheaper.

Get the adapter, buy the RL brembo calipers and 350z rotors and call it a day. OR buy yourself a wilwood bbk for about the same price. You cant just buy the knuckles from the Tl and slap the brakes on and call it a day
