I have an 02 max, and want to do the 6th gen brake swap...

On thing I didn't get a clear answer for was in regards to the back brakes. Are you guys swapping out the back brakes too or not? What's required to do this?

From what I gathered to do the front brakes I will need:

Calipers
Lines
Brackets
Pads
Rotors.

Can I still fit a 16" wheel over these or not? I have steelies for the winter off of an altima.

Thanks for the help!

 

6th gen rear brakes cannot be swapped over, because they have IRS and a separate drum setup for their emergency brake.

For the fronts, you do not need lines or brackets. The 6th gen calipers/rotors/pads are direct bolt on.

These will not clear your 16" wheels...they barely fit under the stock 17's in both offset and diameter.

Shoot. I remember last year I was looking at doing this before I got my winter wheels and thought it was 15" and went with 16's.

Oh well I'll just replace my brakes with OEM pads/rotors and move along
