I'm really surprised to see you running them w/ stock rears and stock MC. I don't think they are meant to be run like that.

This. Get some Maxima rears on that sucker and it will help. You've driven my car a bit, and it has the Wood 11's, Maxima rears, and stock MC. Now that I've tossed out the ABS I plan on getting the Altima MC too. And definitely get the Hawk HP pads for DD duties, SO much less break squeal with them!

The car just doesn't stop like my old sentra (nx stock mc and ss lines) or nx used to (nx/max/u13mc,sslines).

There is an undeniable beauty to "OEM-plus" upgrades, the Nissan brake engineers figured out the proportioning for you.

I'm with everyone else, the proportioning is where your issue lies.

Like a jackass, I did not buy your $500 complete Nissan-goodness upgrade.

I really should have.

Although, recently I bought some pre-owned brake-parts from Rodney, and just ordered the rest of the complete upgrade from Greg V (P10/Maxima-whatever rear rotors, SS lines, Altima MC, f/r pads, fluid).

You already know homie... if i put this car together it would have had that on there IMMEDIATELY!

No cred ripped from the guy who did though - he is good peoples. This thing goes, it just doesn't stop

Yey Nathan... hopefully we can figure that ebrake chit out. I should be able to either cop some jdm nx rotors or drill like you were sayin.

Hell yeah you should have bought it! The rears I got from Scarpulla a while back... I even included the right ebrake bracket I scored from the junkyard too! lol... naw, its all good. What rotors you go with Shawn? You will like the setup... from what i remember it wasn't extreme, but it was like a new car. I enjoyed a few back roads in the nx while it was on the road (not that I used the brakes in turns anyway) but... it was nice not feeling like my front end was going to slide every time I did use them.

I'm excited to start wrenching again.
