Exclamation Small engine and wheel upgrades

Hey Guys, I'm new here, this is my first post. I own a 2010 maxima SV and I want to do a few minor upgrades without much effort, you know, like air filter n yadda yadda. Also want to change the calipers and brake pads., I'm thinking to get a set of those ventilated slotted rotors ( not sure on the size though, I see 12.1 inch and 12.6 inch) Any recommendations

You want to change the calipers, rotors and pads. One place to look that sells big brake kits is Stillen. You can replace the stock filter with a K&N drop-in.

i vouch for the drop in K&N. for a replacement air filter it makes a huge difference. my friend even noticed a more deeper sound when accelerating, sounds pretty good

^ Correct, as it flows so much better than the restrictive stock filter. Include a y-pipe and there's a good combo. Just remember to disconnect the neg battery cable before starting any work to allow the ECU to adjust to the changes you made.

Sounds good, I like the idea of the K & N along with the Y-Pipe, i'm doing it a little at a time, but for those two I want them in together. As for the Calipers and Rotor, I'm thinking to get a cross drilled Rotor, im not set on the calipe yet.

Here's a picture of her as she is now.
