I want to know from those who have done ths bbk install on their 95-03 maxima, after installation how would you describe the pedal feel and the distance the pedal travels compared to stock brakes, thanks

Does the pedal feel soft and spongy or firm as it was when you had stock brakes?

Definitely firmer, you may need to use one of those speed bleeders instead of the old fashion way with those brakes. I did the rebleed a few times and my brakes were still spongy after my swap, used a speed bleeder ones, no issues ever since.

Its a type of pump that allows you to bleed the brakes by pumping out the air without doing it the old fashioned way with the brake pedal. Its basically a pump with a bottle and gauge. You put the car on jack stands, and put the nozzle on the brake line on the caliper, its pretty much a one man brake bleeding thing its awesome. AutoZone I think has em

Yeah, potato tomato.
I was just linking the ones ^ was talking about.
I have that vacuum style also and I'm definitely a fan.
Never tried the others, so I can't comment on those.

Thanks for the links, is this common to happening when do a 4 piston bbk upgrade?

It's my first time doing this so I don't know that much in reference to bleeding it so much, I know how to bleed just didn't know it requires so much bleeding

If you buy Dorman speed bleeder valves then get the 12709s. Dorman incorrectly lists the 12706s for our calipers that are too short at 33mm.

So an update on this

This is common for all doing the z32 bbk upgrade,speed bleeders not neccassary old school 2 ppl bleeding works fine,

you must bleed all 4 corners, there's alot of air in the hydraulic system, the procedure for bleeding is rr,fl,rl,fr, there's no need to do anything to the master cylinder or brake booster, the pedal is alot more firm and braking is so much better,

Thanks to clintbeastwood and vipervadim for their time, along with those who also helped,
