They are good, but not worth the thousands of $$$ the dealer is going to charge for them. Unless you seriously auto-x, track race, or have over 250whp, then the stock brakes with upgraded lines, pads, and fluid will be more than enough.
Originally posted by BlackSpec02 Been shooting some e-mails back and forth with Dave Coleman of Sport Compact Car... this is one regarding how to make the 02 spec v and good as the 03 spec v and whether or not the 04 brakes fit. this is what he had to say about it....
"Transmission: you would have to change the whole thing, so don't bother
Suspension: Springs and dampers could be swapped for 03 parts, but you might
as well just go aftermarket.
2004 Brakes: Yes, they should fit.
-Dave"
so yeah.... If they fit, i might look into getting them...either from nissan or from brembo...they look so cool... so intimidating... just like the ones on the 350z!!!
Dang, now the 03 also has better handling...I should have test driven that yellow 03!
Anyways, the brakes will fit, but you will need different rims. That's why they changed the rims.

2002 Molten Silver Spec V
I like the 04 tails but the front is just butt ugly. I'm a fan of increased performance but I also don't think that an ugly car is gonna sell. Nissan fans may buy them (maybe) but in order to thrive or even survive they have to bring in new customers. Damn it, I don't want to see Nissan go under because they start making design changes for the worse.
i would buy one, and probly will and instead of starting with the mods i will start with the body kit hahahhaha, i hope it looks good, i have seen the octane body kit, and the buddy club one and one other one i like the octane one the most, i really hope they make a similiar kit for the 04, if they do and it looks good then i would go for it, what do u guys think about that?
I agree the o4 is ugly .The brakes the tail lights, I love it. the rims look better than my 6 spoke rims, but if i had my choice i would take the 02- 03 spec v rims. has anyone heard if they had increased the perfomance any.
hey guys saw my first 04 spec V at the dealer the otherday and from the side i must say i was impressed i like the new rims, not to say i like them anymore then the 02/03's though there just diferent, same ammount of power though, i assume its the EXACT same engine, brakes upgraded to brembo but not really cosmetically noticable, and the front is gay as hell, that new front facia looks like an old buick or somthing dam, if i was to get it first thing would be ocatne body kit, or buddy club but either way its gotta go, other then that its pretty tight looking what do u guys think go check it out if they have them at your dealers yet.?
Is it Brembo on the front discs only? If so that's shi**y, If I were to have brembos on my car all four would have to be. I also wonder what the justification was for the plain instrument cluster???
