Buy my A34 kit Hustle.

sooo you telling me irsih's 5th gen was auto X'd so hard that he flexes his calipers?? ... his barely 200whp maxima?.. im not buying that, but i guess if its in "theory" on the material then o.k lol...
A few street races will do the same also, heated up my brakes more than I ever did autocrossing.
Local guy ahd a 4th gen, and my OEM Ti wheels + spacers was so close, going through the mts spirited you could sometimes hear/feel the caliper hit the wheel and see it also on the calipers. It was an auto'd stock 4AT DE, maybe 160whp on a good day, in the mts where we were, maybe 125 whp, 7500' elevation = -40% whp loss vs sea level.
That's why a lot of dudes shave the NISSAN off.
EZ to do w/ Al, not so much FeC.
Yeah, you can feel it, and whp has nothing to do with it. A stock DX civic if tossed around a turn hard enough, while braking at a decent speed will flex those calipers.

Not worried about it... wouldnt the wheel need to be spaced for it to fit and does the stock 17's clear them???... if so what size spacer???... all that random flexing and crap im not even .00000000000000000001% concerned about... i dont think since ive ever sat around a driver seat have i ever done any kind of driving to have done that.... ever lol! i want the nissan logo to stay
It was like a 20 or 25mm spacer. Stock wheels are fur shiit with any BBK aside from the 6th gen.
Stock SE wheel design is not brake friendly at all. Just get some xxr's or something it'll be fine.
I think if i go around a corner hard enough to flex my brake caliper its safe to say in the next .5 seconds ill be hitting a wall like i said, this it more look than functionality... another question, would i also need to get the bracket for the corresponding caliper or does anyone from those years work?
I once had a set then sold them. (Z32TT's + MAtt's Brackets). After that I bought vastmax's set of Wilwoods, sold those to MrEous ... now I have an uninstalled set of the EVO Brembos.
FFS, brake *****.
yea... you are a brake ***** lol... any links on where i would get the rebuild kit??? i found some calipers for $40 per lol
