OE Caliper Big Brake Kit by RacingBrake

Front Two-piece rotor kit:



Maxima 89-99 _________ Maxima 00-03
Size: 332x24mm ________ Size: 324x24mm
Weight: 14.4 lbs. _______ Weight: 13.7 lbs.

Available Finishes: Slotted only.
Extended Bracket: Made of one-piece high strength ductile iron. Retain OE caliper support integrity (no adapter used like competition, learn more...).

Two-piece rotor:
  • Material - Alloyed iron formula adds strength and heat resistance. Heat treating further improves rotor performance for a more uniform and stabilized microstructure.
  • Friction Surface - Fine cross cut grinding for easy brake in.
  • Surface Coating - EDP (Electro-Deposition Paint) uniform coating around non-friction surface, resistant to corrosion and rusting.
  • Convergent Vane - The cooling vanes are of a convergent nozzle design, which increases airflow and turbulence and makes discs cooler.
  • Center-mount
    - It allows the ring to be used on either side of the vehicle simply by mounting the hat on either side of the ring (unidirectional).
    - The stress load transferred from the ring to the hat is balanced.
    - Air inlets are widely open to both inboard and outboard sides of the rotor. More air suctions and even temperature on both sides of the disc surface.
    - Heat transfer from the disc surfaces to the hat is even and minimized by increasing the flange length and the airflow around the flanges.
    - Mounting flanges are on both friction surfaces ultimately provides excellent heat balance.
  • Hardware - Exclusive full floating design with 10.9 grade alloyed hardware. Hardware is DACRO coated and crimp locking. DACRO is highly corrosion resistant and provides a film for easier movement between the hat and rotor ring as disc expands and contracts and the crimp design provides positive engagement without rattling or torque loss at temperature.

Front One-piece rotor kit:



Maxima 89-99 _________ Maxima 00-03
Size: 332x24mm ________ Size: 324x24mm
Weight: 16.4 lbs. _______ Weight: 15.5 lbs.

Available Finishes: Slotted only, and Drilled & Slotted.
Extended Bracket: Made of one-piece high strength ductile iron. Retain OE caliper support integrity (no adapter used like competition, learn more...).

Why OE Caliper Big Brake Kit?
  • Easy Installation - Direct bolt on (although it may require to trim or remove the dust shield). No need to work on brake line or caliper, no bleeding.
  • Cost Effective – The whole kit can cost less than a set of stock rotors from dealer.
  • Low Maintenance – Use the stock pads which means their are plenty of choices at affordable prices.
  • Reliable System – RB kits are made of one extended piece of high strength bracket and precisely machined to retain the OE brake integrity unlike other competition kits that use adaptor piece with hidden flaw. See the difference…
  • Extended Brake life - The bigger rotors provides larger heat sink preventing from the ill effects of overheating such as warping and cracking.
  • Brake Power Improvement – Larger rotors provides longer brake torque arm thus requires less effort to stop the car than stock brake.
  • Visual Appealing – The big rotors gives that “muscle” look under larger wheels.

RacingBrake has the look, performance and price you are looking for. It offers the best value in upgrading your stock brake.

Money Back Guarantee:

If you are not completely satisfied within 30 days from the time of purchase for the value and performance of the brake kit, you may return them for a full refund less shipping and handling.

We don't have an OE caliper kit for the 04-06 Maxima's.

BTW:

This kit is direct Bolt-on. Just swap out the brackets on the caliper, and put the larger rotor on, you do not need to remove the brake lines for the install.

Please PM me pricing for a ’97 maxima.

Can you also somehow give me a price on a replacement rotor only for a 2004 Maxima. Want to stay factory spec, just wanted it lighter.

EDit: We do have FRONT rotors for the 04-06 Maxima.

I will be putting up another thread on our performance replacement rotors (Slotted or Drilled & Slotted) for 89-03 Maxima's.

do you have anything for the rear rotors. I already have a bbk in the front but the rear rotors look so tiny behind big 18s.

Yes, these kit require 17" wheels, and will fit under factor 17"s.

Two-piece rotors are better, here are a few reasons:
  • It allows the disc to expand and contract, which is the reason why one-piece rotors fail
  • Two-piece rotors have aluminum hats, so they are lighter than one-piece rotors
  • Our two-piece rotors are directional with convergent vanes (left & right disc) which pump out the air more effeciently, keeping the disc cooler, as opposed to straight vanes
  • Our two-piece rotors are a center-mount design, which means the hat is mounted at the center, rather than the surface of the disc...which gives the rotor a balanced load, and gets air flow on both sides, and not just one side...
There are just a few...if you would like to find out more on our rotors, please visit this section:
http://www.racingbrake.com/main/product_knowledge.asp

The kit will be no probem with 18's, and right now the bracket only comes in red.

We currently don't have plans to make a rear OE caliper kit for the Maxima, and we only offer rear stock replacement rotors.

Unfortunately, I don't have pictures of the kit installed on a Maxima...yet. I do have pictures of what it looks like on a 350Z (Two-piece rotor):



The kit will look very similiar to this.

This is an interesting product. Does the bracket affect the offset of the caliper, or does is just move it up for the larger rotors?

Also, what imporvements will a kit like this provide over the stock rotor? Will it improve anything more than heat dissipation?

The bracket does not affect the offset of the caliper, it just moves it up, everything is the same as OE.

It's a larger 'heat sink', increasing the thermal capacity to over-sized rotor from OE, the one-piece rotors are straight vane, and the two-piece rotors are convergent-vane to pump out the air more effeciently, and keep the disc cool, so that way the rotor can handle heavy braking loads.

We are not really sure what this 300ZX bbk means. The stock size rotor on a 300ZX is 280mm which is the same size rotor as your 95 Maxima. However, we do have the BBK for your application:
http://www.racingbrake.com/MAXIMA_FR...2047-111-0.htm

We have an article explaining the principle of how our OE caliper kits are built and the difference between us and the competition. The article is easy to understand, with examples of OEM and aftermarket upgrades using the OEM caliper configuration, please read:

No, we don't carry replacement calipers.

Our OE caliper kits are built for easy and simple swap without involving caliper or brake line job, with affordable price and immediate improvement in braking power.

We recomend Hawk HPS, which is a street level pad, and is low on dust. Hawk does have a Ceramic compound as well which is really low on dust, but I don't think it performs as well as the HPS pads.

what he is asking is what's the difference between the single piston stock caliper vs. the 4 piston 300zx caliper that two people on here have created.

Ok some people here in maxima world have been using the 4 piston brake calipers from the TT 300zx for brake upgrades that is what some people are asking you about.

As a former owner of a WRX. I had one of the first RACING BRAKE 4 piston setups on my car. their product is excellent. I first meet these guys at a MACH V motorsports GTG. yeh it was a subaru/evo meet. You will not find a better product. BEST OE upgrade brake rotors period...

the "300zx bbk" means:

Z32 aluminum (or iron) 4-piston rotors
+
adaptor bracket (from either BlehmCo or Jeff92se)
+
12.6" (320mm) 04-06 Maxima rotors (Blehmco) or 13" Cobra rotors (Jeff)





that's why I was asking you a while back about 2-piece 6th gen rotors

I am glad to see that this kit has finally come to be built. Me and Mecca went to them to have our cars measured for this kit and i must say their shop and products were very impressive when we were able to take a look at them. the owner "warren" let us take out his car that had the 350z version of this kit and he told us to take his car up to 120 or so and do repeated stops to fully understant how well this car came to a stop. the only words i would be able to use to compare to it would be the effect you get when a helicopter is coming down for a landing. this 350z made numerous and i mean numerous stops from 120+ and every time it was as strong to stop as the first time and the car never made us feel as if we were coming anywhere near the limits of the racingbrake bbk that was on the car.

if anything i would be very confident to say that the 350z bbk that was on that car was very similar to the one being sold for maximas would out brake my 6th gen kit... going by how well their other products work.

any timeline for 04-06 rear rotors? (11.5" x .35")

i'm looking for slotted rears to match the slotted fronts. also, do all your slotted rotors have curved vane design or is it only the 2pc ones?
