progress of build up of bbk for maxima
That's gorgeous, does this setup work for 5.5gens? What are the rotors you are running and from where did you acquire them? Looks to be 2 piece. Nice work, that's going to look and perform great on your ride.
Baer Eradispeed+ 2pcs rotors...
When're you going to have them running? My Canadian dist. is backordered I might end up getting 2pcs blanks instead. I'm worried about noise issues with the cross drilling/slots..

these are 2 piece bear rotors mounted with 300zx 30mm alluminum calipers. size of the rotor is 13 inch and they are from a cobra. now to the person that asked will this work on a 5th and 5.5 gen max, yes it will because i am doing it on my max which ahs a front end from a 5.5 gen. the brackets that were sold i got rid of and got some brackets made out of alluminum. the calipers were also milled down in some areas so they sit closer to the center of the caliper so all of the rotor is used. i also will be using the hubcentric rings and ss brake lines. now time to go to work and get these installed.

this setup ran me with 2 piece rotors about $800-850 just because of the rotors costing around $500.

Can't complain though, at that price it's feasable to play around with grinding calipers. Only cost like 1/4 of a real BBK! BTW, what wheels are you getting to go around these suckers?

I see, could we just add washers?

that is what i had to do. but this problem liek i said would exist if the bracekts were the proper thickness. the one thing that bugs me the most is everybody keeps their mouths shut and just post pics of the kit installed but all the work that goes into it making it perfect nobody ever talks about it.
