I can get a great deal on both around same price, but which would be better? a 4piston caliper on a 11.6in rotor or a single piston caliper on a 12.6in rotor?


This is going on a 5th gen. I Honestly think the bigger rotor on 6th gen would stop quicker without locking up but am i wrong?

6th gen would be better for a multitude of reasons.

But braking distance, and overall brake performance? Goes to the inferior Z32's

The z32 takes it in for the looks. I have a 6th gen bbk, had this setup on my previous car and I'll always choose it over the z32. 12.6 inch brembo blanks, hawk pads and 6th gen calipers. All you have to do is get the bracket mounting bolts from Nissan and enlarge the holes in the knuckle a bit. The kit fits behind 5.5 gen wheels and looks huge, the rotors are so big for the 4th gen there's no way you'll ever warp them, you can get the calipers from any auto parts store (I buy them and give my 4th gen calipers as cores) noone is the wiser because they look the same. There no relocation brackets to deal with and no clearance issues, the pads get full contact with the rotor. For a street driven car it's an obvious choice, unless your going for the looks.
