Wait what do you mean they dont have an application for our car? You mean they dont sell big brake kits for 5th gens? Because I have a 13" Wilwood kit.

I think you lost me on the question.

Maybe you havent been looking because there are over 4-5companies making front big brake kits for the maxima. Then there is also a company making big brake kits for the rear as well.

I could be wrong here, but any kit that is compatible with any of those cars, should be fully compatible with a maxima, as well.

300zx brakes work on maximas with little modification. 350z Brembo kit fits perfectly on G35 kit, and I am sure the G35 kit will fit onto a 350z as well....

I am willing to bet any of those kits will be compatible with a maxima

I looked all over their web site, but can't find a rear kit for 5th Gen's anywhere. Did I just overlooked it, or do I need to call them?
