Feels like this has to be said every time someone asks about brakes:

What are you doing with your car?

What brakes do you have now?

What tires are you using now?


Even if you are supercharged, you don the need a big brake kit. Bigger brakes primarily aid in brake repeatability - i.e. If you are tracking the car heavily and using the brakes to slow from high speed over and over

If you wanna just grip better .... get better pads and tires.


The sports/nismo setup has freakin 14 inch rotors already. You need to be pushing some speed at the track to really need bigger rotors and calipers


So get some stickier tires and better pads on the akebono setup and that's all anyone needs on the street
