Big Brake Idea, need help

[iwishiwas-all*]

Hey all, a while ago there was a guy who used brembo sti and evo 8 brakes onto a s13 to make a killer big brake kit, well i had this idea that could be found to be alot cheaper.
The 2005-06 nissan sentra ser spec v came available with Brembo 4 piston calipers (in 4 lug) so i had an idea for using these brakes and rotors (since the car is 4x114.3 like s13's) on a 240 big brake system, unfortunately on every nissan online prts cat's, ebay and everywere else i cannot find a set of these calipers for the life of me.
DOes anyone have access to them, have any idea how intensive this upgrade will be and any other info i will need to do this?
thanks
gabe

man this was just discussed search, but if I remember someone said straight bolt on

[phrozen]

its almost bolt on if ircc u have to make the holes bigger since they use 16 or 17mm bolts fot he calipers? iono something like that but yea even if u get ur hands on em ur gonna pay alot of $

[projectRDM]

14mm bolts, same as all Brembo calipers.

right, but the sentra only has front brembo's. What about the rear, no tto mention balance

You can adjust your balance with an aftermarket brake proportioning valve...just takes trial & error.

OR you can use the brembo sti/evo brakes and just have the rotors redrilled to 4 lug.

I didnt mean just proportion balance. What about fade? With a much larger rotor in the front (given the 240's weight balance) the rear would fade quicker and overhead, making the fronts do more work and cause the car to push if trying to trailbrake. This of course would depend on your driving style as well. I just did the entire brembo set up from an evo/sti and love em. Good balance right 'out of the box'.

if you can spend some dough on the sti and evo brake why not spend 500 more for 5 lug swap?

When you can spend $50 or less for redrilling, why do you spend $500 for 5 lug?

Buy straight from Nissan, here's a few Nismo catelogs:

Or you can find a wrecked sentra, but I wouldnt hold your breath on that. Les Schwab can get a hold of any stock OEM part, since the 05 and 06's came with them, they are considered OEM.

actually when I was talking to the guys I was purchasing my rotors from, they asked why I needed them 4lug, I explained to them I was putting them on my 240sx. They redrilled them for me for free.

So did you use evo for the front and sti for the rear? Or sti calipers with evo rotors all around?
