OE Caliper Replacement
OE Caliper Replacement
So basically I'm planning to swap out my brake setup. Originally I was going to go the BBK route, but now I realize that won't quite fit into my college freshman budget. So now I'm just planning on swapping out blanks, pads, possibly brake lines, and calipers. I've got a set of new OE rear calipers but I'm having a harder time finding a front set. So does anyone have any advice with purchasing these:
eBay Auction
Should I hold off and look for a set from Nissan or would these do me just fine?

It's more than $100..
300zx calipers are in high demand (240sx guys, etc. nissan bastardizing)
They will cost more than maxima calipers.
Plus u need to buy the brackets and new lines...
If you buy 6th gen calipers "poor-mans BBK" you can reuse the lines, and won't need a bracket. I think that would be the best solution for you since you're already buying calipers.

BBK? I really wanted to go that route, but recently its been hard to find OE Z32 calipers in good condition at a decent price (may be due to 240sx drivers, as someone mentioned) and on top of that rotors, relocation brackets, pads, and conversion brake lines would be more than $500. Aside from that $500 I'd still have to spend the money to replace the parts in the rear.
So I might go with the RacingBrake OE Caliper kit if they're member price is decent. I know RacingBrake's work with cars/rotors in general is good quality, but does anyone have a review/incite on their kit for the Max?
