I have the Fastbrakes kit on my car... they make a big difference. I think your kits use Dynalite 4 pistons, though. You just have to pay more attention to them because they don't use outer dust boots.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to go to the junkyard and get 4th Gen Maxima calipers/rotors? My stock were 11" rotors... Should be more than enough for your lighter cars. I think most Nissan FWD bolt on without much problems... though I haven't personally done this swap.

Caliper offset and bolt center to center are wrong as is the rotor bolt pattern.

Damnnit, there are way too many tempting mods out there that I want and would automatically take me out of STS! It's good to know though cause once I get my cage in the next month or two I'll certainly need them for track use.

Ok, so someone asked if this would fit the b13... Well, was that just the SR20 or would that also fit the GA16? Or is there even a difference between the two?

No they stick out way too much for almost all rims, except for maybe some crazy spoke 17 or 18 inch rims.

Hi Guys,

I was part of the initial group buy for Fastbrakes Someone had installed their 11" kit and posted the pic.

Before

After

I have bought the 11" Heavy Duty Slotted rotor. I was told that I didn't have to change the MC. The owner of the picture posted above did not have to replace his MC. You just need to properly bed the rotor, I was told, and it would be fine. The brake pedal will be firm.
