hey guys my stock front rotors are soon to be done for one my 91 coupe, so i was wondering if i should go with the silvia brake upgrade. A local shop can get me silvia brakes for 150 but i was wondering if anyone else was running these and if so are satisfied with them? and the advantages over stock please let me know your comments would be very helpful THANKS!! :)

They're a little big bigger than our stock brakes, and have more stopping power, and is a direct bolt-on. I say go for it. I'm trying to find myself some right now.

I have them on my s13. I got mine for $20, paid $20 to resurface the rotors and paid $50 for hawk pads. Rotors are same as 95 altima rotors (4 lug) and are the same diameter as z32 but not as thick. Calipers are the same as 95-99 maxima. Best brake upgrade for the buck. Get stainless steel brake lines too. You won't be disappointed.

I just went through this on my coupe, with 180SX brakes. The pads are 90's Maxima parts, the rotors are Altima if 4 bolt, Maxima if you've gone 5-lug. As for years, just tell em it's a 93 or 94. All the 4 wheel disc cars in that time frame used the same stuff...
