hi guys.
just wanted you to know that we're nearing completion of our long-await brake kit.

just need to select a rotor hat ..

brackets were custom made via CNC here at ucla (the prototypes) with CAD (actually Pro-E schematics) and now the hats need to be machined and designed.

bascially its almost like the fastbrakes kit for the 12.19 x 1.25 size rotor, but if you wanna step up to the 13 inch rotor. that's a whole other story.

well. keep your eyes peeled on my site when i announce more news.

Thanks,

Cheston

What generations...>

You site doesn't tell what generation the kits will be for. If you are making them for the 5th generation
then I'll be the first to sign-up. I hate the 5th gen. brakes, I think this is the one thing Nissan over looked.

Will these be used with the same calipers? I presume so because you only mentioned the brackets. I'll be #2 if it's available for 5th gens.

I guess I should add crappy brakes to that list in the 5th gen forum.....



Nissan's bright idea for the past 2 generations of Maximas: "Yeah, let's just keep using the brakes from the 3rd gens. Weight gain doesn't matter that much....."

Pathetic on Nissan's part.

Yeah, those dang paint chips dragged on my Max and added 5 seconds to my 1/4 times....It's hard to drive when your mouth is full of paint chips and burnt ATF......

Hey Cheston, do you need a 3rd gen to help with the fitting process?
