Hey sorry i can't help you on that, but I'm figuring out the fitting to do this conversion also, what rotors are you going with etc and what wheel size and type are you using? thanks

I'm using matt blehms kit with R1 2005 maxima rotors. I have 19 inch Falken torque 5 with a 40mm offset.

Sweet! Unfortunately it doesn't look like I have enough clearance to go bigger than stock 300 rotors even tough I'm on 18" 's, good luck post pics when they're on! Better yet boot on over to Vancouver this weekend for our meet on Saturday!!!!

Thanks Chris

remove the brake bleeder valve. put a soft towel into the spot where the brake pads would normally be. blow compressed air into bleeder valve opening. it will pop out.

^^No1 don't do that!! There is a locking ring on the pistons that you have to remove first. Here is a link to a great write up.
