    Default Inexpensive brake upgrade?

    I think the brakes on my 08 spec v suck. They just dont have the grab I expect or have felt my past cars have been. Im not gonna spend a couple grand on brembos. So is there a cheaper brake caliper upgrade,better pads,better rotors, ss lines. Whats the first place to start?

    check either fastbrakes or the vendors section to see if there's anything available.

    Just letting you know your brakes are the same that are on the Maxima, 370Z and the G37.

    12.6" x 1.10" vented front discs, you could upgrade to the huge ass 4-piston calipers Nissan has now with 14.0" x 1.30" rotors if all fails.

    But I would look in to Power Slot rotors and a set of Hawk HPS brake pads with SS lines an you'll be set.
