03 Altima/00Maxima Calibers

Will 03 Altima calipers work on a 00 Maxima?
I was at the junk yard today and i found a 03 altima, the calipers are duel pistons compared to my single ones in the 00 max, there all intact, bracks and all, and for $8 each hell.

It would depend if when bolted up that they line up with everything else on the Maxima. For $8, it might be worth finding out.

Now that you mention it, it almost looked like a 6th gen max, it was so gutted though i couldent really tell, it had side curtain airbags that poped and , all i saw was the sticker under the hood, said 2003 year but i did not note the engine size, it was gone anyways, but the calibers where deffinetly 2 pistons on the inner side.Ill get pics on friday if the weather is ok and ill buy them just to have with the bracket, if they dont work, ill sell them here i guess, ill pass on the savings ^_^

are you sure it's 03, cause those didn't use 2-pist. calipers. as for fitment.. you would defntly want to get 03 altima rotors (that go with those calipers) wich are 11.65"x1.02" vs. 11.02"x1.02" on 00 maxima. meaning.. calipers are going to bolt on, but the pads with stock 00 rotors are going to have 0.315" overhang.
