4 pot aluminium 96 ls400 calipers and rotors, an upgrade considered to be on par or better than, Supra TT brakes.
Ebay all the way and it weighs in at a wopping $220, the breakdown; Calipers w/ hardware,$140 including shipping.
Blank Rotors and semi-metallic pads, $75.
Spent waaaaaaayyyyyyyyy too many hours sanding off imperfections to get that mostly smooth shiny surface, worth it in my mind.
The sad old brakes
The brakes feel like they can be trusted now, with a firm initial bite. Ive yet to experience any notable fade and more importantly, my heart melts a little more everytime I see them.
Value: 10/10
Ease of install: 7/10 (requires filing to fit)
Performance: 8/10
Aesthetics: 9.2/10

I was thinking they were 6th gen. Maxima wheels! I keep forgetting that the Z had nearly identical (but obviously larger) wheels.

Actually they probly are maxima rims, the offset and width for the front and back are the same.
