I dont have the brake kit from Matt, but I do have many of his other products and they are high quality parts.

I highly recommend his stuff, great bang for the buck and very innovative, and as I said high quality.

 

I hhave the kit. Check out the pics on my cardomain page. http://www.cardomain.com/id/d_warner

As for the kit. I am the first 4th gen to run it. I prototyped it for Matt who only lives about an hour away. The kit is absolutely awesome. If you invest, run Wagner quiet stop pads. They bite really hard, and they dust very little. I didn't use the aluminum calipers. I went ahead and used the 300ZX iron calipers. Due to the size of the 04 Max rotors, you will need to remove the dust shield from your hubs which is really no problem. Everything from there is bolt on. The kit comes with custom Goodrich Stainless Brake lines, which makes the pedal feel unbelievable. If you have any questions, just lemme know.

This is the link to Matt's web site. He switched to a different hosting company yesterday and looks like there are some things that are not fixed yet.

My 5th Gen was the test mule to design the kit, bracket, rotor fit, and the other components. The difference between the old and new brakes is very big. The difference is looks is PRICELESS. The way Matt and I built this kit, the wear items-pads, rotors, and when necessary rebuilding kit-are available at Nissan parts, AutoZone, O'Reilly, etc. No ordering from Wilwood, Precision, etc. and waiting a week and more for UPS to show up at your door with the parts that are not available at local auto parts store. My homepage has a few pics, but I have tons more if anyone wants them. Just PM and let me know. Here's a couple teasers.

In a word, YES!!! The braking power is unbelievable. Mike Hill (kwd2kse) will vouch that I drive the (insert explicative of choice here) out of my max. If you a road racer or autocrosser, you will definately have to slow down before the turns rather than braking through them now however. Given the fact that the front brakes grab soooo hard now, the front end loves to have all the weight transferred to it. The brakes are wonderful. Stopping distance has been drastically improved, and insane fast stops are now an ordinary practice. Right Mike.
