    Default brembo brakes?

    i have a spec that came with disc brakes instead of brembos....i was thinking of swapping on the brembos. so is it possible to swap the fronts and the rears without many modifications?

    to swap the fronts you'll need the entire setup..calipers, mounts, pads, rotors

    so how do u swap the rears? even without the e-brake? i like the look of the small brembo calipers on the 350z's and such... would just look more uniform to me....

    The Brembo equipped Sentras only have Brembo calipers on the front if I'm not mistaken. In the rear its just a standard Nissan caliper. However, the rear rotor size is larger, but I don't recall if the caliper is longer or if there is a bracket. Either way, Brembo will bolt right on as long as you get the complete set like Ash said.

    You can never have enough stopping power. Especially at the track!

    Yea constant braking will kill poor quality brake components. Rotors will warp, pads will... do whatever they do, lol. I love the Brembos.
