Figured with my upcoming mods, might need a faster stopping ability. Sorry OT, I'll be doing my car in 3 phases, First BBK and D2 coilover install, then Turbo, then body and paint up front and on the roof.

You will be disapointed then when you get your BBK. The vanes in your new rotors are directional, they can only go on one way to expel the most air.

My rotors have the slots sweeping not cutting. Hope you wont be disapointed with that.

I'm sure I won't be, Wilwoods are excellent BBK and look hot also. I'm looking forward to it whichever way they face...

HAHA nice dude. Nah I meant on the Maxima man! You said front and top paint so I immediately thought of a nice orange/reddish killer flame job. C'mon you know you want to!

I'm having the front bumper re-fiberglassed to smooth out some if the imperfections I never liked about it and on the hood rock chips. Since my overall paint looks great, the body shop recommended we do the bumper, hood, and flare in the front fenders for a perfect match. Then I'm taking it in (soon after) to have 3M clear protected covering applied over. The Roof will be Onyx black with a black matching JDM roof spoiler...

Sorry OT Broyz...

Great, soon enough more and more peeps will be rolling...eh stopping on Wilwoods.

Yeah with the turbo around the corner you will need all the stopping you can get. I can't wait for the rims (NISMO 19) so that I can proceed with the breakes (they don't fit behind my current rims) Might be my last mod for a little while because the little one arrived yesterday. Wohoo!

Nope, 5mm is really small anyway. Kit also comes with longer wheel studs.

Agree, I just purchased a set of EiBach billet aluminum 5mm spacers (dudes thats less than 1/4 inch!!!) for my Wilwood BBK, I actually don't need them with my rims because the 144mm offset and my lightweight O.Z.s have more than enough clearance. But I also don't mind pushing my rims out a tad for a more aggressive full look. Last, their lightweight, maybe 3lbs between them and will improve cornering because of an overall 1/2" wider stance...

That actually sounds pretty cool Chern. What size tires are you running front and rear?

BBKs are normally made with lightweight materials, including the rotors, so you have an added advantage of shaving vehicle weight with improved braking ability!!!

One thing is for sure. If chernmax is running these, these are good.


Did I mention I run on these same tires? hehe. Very STICKY on anything but snow - CONFIRMED!

Yep, I got the 10mm kit from ichiba and I believe they were even lighter (will weigh soon). My new rims won't require them to clear wilwoods but will leave them there anyway to make the tires even with the fender. Nice wide stance, good for looks and handling.

Thanks guys. speaking of that Chern, ever since that turbo kit came out I have been soiling all of the towels. Can't wait till I can afford that upgrade. Was going to trade the Max in for the next gen EVO, but with this option I'm going to keep my baby and dust the EVOs.

The Turbo kit should arrive late next week, I'm expecting the Wilwood BBK and D2 coilovers today or tomorrow...
