Front Rotora BBK Installed

Well I finally installed my front BBK, these thinngs are awesome. Tried to start on back but couldn't brake the blots holding the calipers. Will try aagain next week when I can heat them up first. Anyway here are some pics of the fronts, will take more once the rears are done.

Very sweet set up Joe. It actually looks good on the stock rims. Like the decal.

Not backwards, rotors are labeled left and right, so I know I didn't mess it up.

Bad spelling I was tired. Trying to say that I could't get the bolts to crack that hold the rear calipers on. Going to try to heat them up next week to see if that will work.

No there staying put. Too much work to swap out, besides I'm thinking of rebuilding the stock calipers and attempting to sell them to a 5th gen.

OHHH I see, so YOU would leave your $3000 plus brake setup exposed to ROAD SALT, and all the snow that gets jammed in between the wheels and the calipers during winter?

U might as well just ride around with wads of 100 dollar bills as mudflaps! Assuming of course that you reside somewhere that has a snowy winter.

I won't be swapping mine back and fourth either but they will still get cleaned often in the winter and I garage my car every night!!!

Southern Maryland gets snow but not as much as most Northeastern states...

Like Chern I too garage mine as well and I will clean them every time I go out in the snow, not that I drive in the snow with it all that much. I have a Murano for that.

Me too. I have a 2004 Murano AWD for those nasty days. I just wish my 2004 Maxima had traction control...nobody seems to know how to add it after the fact.

I bought the ichiba spacers (10mm) here on the org. These things are perfect and come with longer studs. They are super light and are precisely done. highly recommended.
