Well this ought to make the masses a little happier, one set is now available from the first batch. I just don't have the time/funding to pursue doing this BBK on my car.

here you go this is from post#1

"As far as wheel clearance goes, 17" wheels are a required size with the appropriate offset/spoke design to clear the calipers."

These brackets fit on the 5th gen and 5.5 gen knuckles. I have not tested them on the 6th gen and 7th gen maximas.

04-06 bro i saw some last night even if they need a rebuild that would be a good thing because then you can rebuild them and get them nicely powdercoated nothing beats that and on top of that Brembos

I just bought these brackets and plan on buying a set of EVO brembos from ebay, powder coating them, doing a rebuild and installing them on my Maxima...

I buy tons of crap from eBAY...love it. I buy my daughters diapers from eBAY from this shop in Seattle...WAY WAY cheaper than the store! Comes packaged BRAND NEW in a box just like you'd pay almost twice as much in the store for....LOVE EBAY!

Those calipers all over eBAY...just buy them and get the rebuild kit and thats it. Nothing wrong with eBAY at all.

Get rid of the tape on window moldings, if you really want them get the slide in window style, they look a ton less cheap.

Repaint the wiper arms body color if they must be painted or goto a yard and replace.

Dark corner bumper lights or paint body color or mold out.

Polish headlights, they look sand blasted

Turbo it.

But that is just me.

Bedding in takes a few minutes and you usually let the brakes cool for several hours and then it's good to drive.....Oh yeah to those that said a 6th gen brake setup won't fit under 00-01 17" rims it's a freakin myth/lie.....I just hooked up a dude with a 2000 SE wearing those 17" aluminum wheels with the removal lugs cover.....I knew it was BS and ppl need to not just repeat crap just because Joe Blow said it....This is quite common on the org!
