they're leaking brake fluid from the bottom two brown circles, would a caliper rebuild kit fix that? or do i need to buy another set of calipers?

What brown circles? You probably need new small and large o-rings.

i'm lacking a better word for them, but those two copper looking circles on the caliper. lol

how did you get the front calipers to fit on your spindles

did you drill or ?

FYI the rebuild kit doesn't always come with the o-rings, make sure you get one that does.

Those are the long bolts holding two halves together. Looks like small o-ring between the two halves is bad. Nissan doesn't sell that o-ring since you are not supposed to take the caliper apart. I've seen some people bought same size o-ring from online hardware store. You need to find correct size for it.

oh, your the guy and the write up. should've noticed...
