$519.45 + shipping?! I just bought rebuilt calipers with rotors for $200 shipped. Even in a worst case scenario, where are person has to go to Advance Auto parts and pay core charges on the calipers they're going to be about $80-$90 per caliper and about $75 per rotor. So where does that put us? $330 tops? But you can pawn off the AD18VE calipers as cores in most cases, so you stand a good chance of getting the $100 in core charges, back. So chances are, $230. And some of the best pads out there are OEM Nissan pads, which from what I understand are made by Beck Arnley, so you buy them at the parts store for next to nothing. Greenstuff pads are going to eat the rotors up, a person should be using Redstuff if they're going to use EBC pads at all. And about the cross drilled and slotted rotors, unless you're doing autocross that's a waste of money and even if you are, you'd know that they're going to crack. Do yourself a favor, and buy the calipers and rotors at the parts store, along with some cheap pads and order the Crown stainless steel braided lines and some RBF 600 fluid from Mossy Nissan. You'll spend less than $519.45 + shipping , probably around $380 and have plenty of stopping power. The Maxima rear conversion isn't cheap, the Calipers are $70+ and unless you've got cores to give you'll pay more than the calipers for the cores alone, about $150 a pair. Then you use the oversized JDM NX rear rotors that most parts stores don't carry, and unless you want a screwed up bias, you need to use an Altima master cylinder. I'm doing my AD22 upgrade right now with the braided hoses and the RBF fluid for $351, and unless I can do the maxima rear for close to $200 I'm not doing it. Just my honest opinions here. No flame intended.
