Not sure about wheel fitment on the Solara but when you upgraded to Z brakes on the 240SX, EVERYTHING had to go; needed new wheels, rotors, pads, the works. Just to get it to fit (not necessarily to work). In the end you spend a little more than originally planned but the performance gain was unbelievable.
It wasn't like you weren't going to spend on said parts anyway but instead of spending it over a period of time you had to drop bank on them then and there, similar to a BBK anyway.
you're definitely right on the braking power of these calipers being amazing and they stick like glue. Like with every big mod, some additional tweaking, tuning, or upgrading parts is required. In this case you'd need at least 17" rims to make these babies fit. I'll test fit these on the TRD Revos since a lot of you have these rims and may be interested in this BBK.
PS If anyone is interested in this BBK, add yourself to the list above and specify whether you want only the brackets or the complete kit.
