If you don't track the car,don't bother with any caliper upgrades...Just go with brembo blanks for the rotors/Hawk hps brake pads...Maybe some stainless steel brake lines if you feel froggy..

IMO,brembo's are equal if not better than oem..you will love the brembo/hawk hps combo..trust me..

alright thanks ill get the brembos then.. My friend is parting out a 94 Q45 so I was wondering if the calipers he had were better than the ones my 4th gen have. It would probally be cheaper for me to buy his brakes as opposed to pads and rotors. But if theres nothing special about the Q45 brakes ill just get the Hawk Pads and Brembo Rotors

get the calipers/rotors from your friend--they will fit your max---but first you have to mill down the rotors about 3mm----noticable stopping power

Q or J calipers is a worthy upgrade. But you won't feel alot of difference.

THIS is an upgrade
