Hi,
As previously stated, the stanza is very front heavy and it is typical for tese vehicles to exert most of the force onto the front brakes. It is rare that your brake shoes haven't yet been changed, it could be that you're not recieving adequate braking to the rear, or it could be you're a very easy driver and light on the brakes.
The Attesa is a model of the Nissan Bluebird. Over here we have the Stanza XE, SE, GXE. The Bluebird Attesa is a U-12, looks just like the US Stanza, with just a few minor cosmetic differences. However, the Attesa is a completely different beast...All wheel drive, sr20det. "Attesa" actually refers to the layout of that particular Bluebirds suspension.
If you would like to get familiar with a group of Stanza owners, head on over to
