Daryl's already said since there is demand they'll be doing it : they needed 6-8 weeks to get the kid made; it should be going on a guinea pig max soon just to make sure everything is ok... I figure in about 6 weeks or so it will be available, but more info will follow - it may be a little sooner.

Someone should use a G-Tech Pro for BEFORE/AFTER results.

sweet 6-8 weeks i can't wait, i hope less. i'll do a test of braking before and after, i just bled with DOT 4 and my tires are sick stickier so i shoulld get good results. i jsut hope the pedal feel is still there.

Precision Brake Kit for 5thgen available?
What is the status on this GB? On the 5thgen site someone is saying that he was the "guinea pig" for the 5th gen kit from Precision Brakes and that it is completed? see thread:
http://www.5thgenmaximas.com/vbb/sho...2631#post16121
what gives?

Re: Precision Brake Kit for 5thgen available?
I was to be the backup guinea pig for this actually The idea was give him the brakes, have him drive with them for a bit, and if everything goes OK, we make it official that the kit is ready. I'm still waiting for the final word, but keep your eyes peeled here; the GD should be ready for shipping very soon

Re: Re: Re: Precision Brake Kit for 5thgen available?
The price will be the same as for the 4th gens : $800 - I am hoping maybe we can get it a little lower considering how many people have shown interest - the original $800 was for a 5 person buy.
Here is a list of interested parties; please Email me if you are still interested or want to add your name. Include your year, colour, model, and your name I'll pass it on to the appropriate parties and we will contact you for payment when this is ready (and we have a lower price maybe ).

Haha tell me about it : I bought a blower for $3k, nissan installing it for about $900, then there's the gauges/pod for $200, brakes for $800, tint for cheapo, the S-03's I bought w/new CSA rims... I need to STOP!
I managed to say no to HID's until next year, ditto for the bodykit and suspension work... by next summer I plan on either being dead or owning one big bad Y2K max All this after not touching the car for two whole years (almost)

Please take me off the list. I'm going to wait for the front AND rear kit to come out. Plus, I'm hoping for some more feedback once people get them installed and drive around for awhile.
Thanks.

i called precision brakes today and spoke with some one that works there and they are READY TO GO, they make them to order and the wait is 1-2 weeks. the price is 899 retail and had 13 inch slotted x-drilled rotors, wilwood 4 pot calipers, powdercoated brackets, SS lines and wilwood compound D pads. the pads are upgradeable and you can get just SLotted rotors if you road race and are worried about cracking them. i'll wait for this group deal and hopefully get them for under 800

I think you should be ok with the SS lines you got there...
FYI, I will be calling them Monday to ask about rim fit/template and the rears. If I don't, I owe everyone involved a beer

Update from Nigel@PB
Hey guys,
Just spoke w/Nigel and got a few answers for you :
- Rear XD's are possible; expect to pay around the same price (if not the same) as for the front kit. They haven't made any -yet- but it can be done with just 1 order.
- GD price is fixed at $800 This is for 10 people; Nigel claims they don't like doing group deals anymore so it's the best he can do.
- They can send you a template if you have doubts about wheel fit (on stock 17's in particular). You MUST have 17's at least though if you want these to fit
Let me know if you guys still want in; as soon as I have 10 people email me their interest I will pass it along and you can order!
Thx,
Jer
