Do they? I went to my dealer today to get Another bottle of touchuppaint and saw the new maxima, the brakes look the same to me. Oh wait i have terrible vision. Nice car, looks like the Altima 2. i like mine better though.

maybe maybe Z brakes probably will be cheaper

and for the size of the rear brakes... hmmm dont you work at a dealer? see if one of the salesman will tell you... probably they'll say 18" front and rear... tards

carnal- you think i work for a dealer.. HA HA HA and yes, they would tell me its 18" brakes , with 11" wheels. most of the nissan salesman didn't even know you can get a 4seater maxima (bucket seats) now until we had one pulled on the floor today.. but we DO have a black 350Z w/ 20's on it sittin here that we just did - it looks goooddddd

alabaster, thanks!

i'm going to guess 4gens are 11.6 all around ?

hmm i may have to talk to parts and get a little hookup on testing 12.6's on a 4gen. woohoo.

muwahaha

nope our fronts are bigger, like 11s I think I know Matthel was working on a Q45 rear upgrade for us... but the Qs rotors are RWD so maybe this might be the ticket
