Looking for brakes upgrade

How do i put high performance gt brakes on my 2010 maxima? Do i have to get all new rotors? The front rotors on the car already are 296 mm. As long as the bolts still fit can i get bigger rotors to fit better brakes??

Again enjoy the cars as it is. If you need brakework there are Akebono pads that are drop in.

Go big or go home. 6 piston is what you want...

No need for huge piston setups on a Maxima.. Its not a race car... Its a sports sedan..
Ebc rotors or Stillen rotors with stock calipers are all you will ever need... If you really want a better feel in the pedal.. remove the rubber brake lines and install SS Brake lines...
If you feel you need more brakes... Get a sports car..

Absolutely NO reason to change the brakes...a useless and ill advised effort that is NOT an "upgrade", lol!

Check out rockauto.com for POWERSTOP brakes either regular vented, slotted or x-drilled & slotted along with their H-D Z26 pads....awesome performance for the buck
