Installation of Infiniti G35 2004 / Nissan 350Z 2003-2009 4-Piston calipers on 1995-2008 Nissan Maxima (also fits Infiniti I35, Altima SE-R). They are 100% direct bolt-on with no custom brackets needed. There is no pad overhang. Overall, solid cost efficient setup.
This setup using the 6thgen 12.6″ which are easy to find and low cost. Additionally, no need for any custom brackets which is awesome. It’s almost like factory OEM.
Fitment:
- 1995-1999: You will need to drill to expand the mounting holes either on the hub or caliper so they will accept the larger bolts. See this post here: https://www.my4dsc.com/how-to-install-2002-2003-5thgen-brakes-on-4thgen-maxima/
- 2000-2003: For the 5thgen, you just need the calipers guides, rotors and pads. The existing mounting bolts, stock brake lines and banjo bolt work just fine. If you have SS lines, you will need the banjo bolt.
- 2004-2008: Similar to 5thgen, except that you don’t need to purchase the rotors since you can use your existing ones.

Notes:
- 370Z/G37 Rear Toe Arms – Billet Version (Approx. $500.00)
- Way more adjustability in alignment when you’re super slammed.
- I’m running 350z rear true Coilovers.

Notes:
- True one piece Coilovers in the rear from BC Racing from 350z.
- Drives amazing.
- Now I can delete the spring bucket and add a adjustable arm. It’s easier to adjust as well.

Red Lion Racing offers high quality control arm bushings, made from premium Nylatron plastic – stronger, stiffer, and sleeker than polyurethane! These bushings come with stainless steel sleeves to ensure the smoothest bushing function.
These will increase the cornering performance of your car as well as lessen wheel hop during drag launches on higher HP cars.
Caster versions are the control arm bushing designed with angled, offset mounting holes to increase your front caster alignment by 1degree to give you even more cornering performance. This can increase torque steer a little and is recommended only for cars that are purposely built for road racing or autocross; the regular bushings will greatly increase cornering performance over OEM or poly bushings and as such are recommended for normal daily driving or drag racing set ups.
