Saaby 12-11-2001, 03:26 PM Anyone have this break upgrade? How is the install? Where is the best place to get this setup. CourtesyParts.com wants $500 for it. I am in the market for this upgrade and could use some insight. Thanks in advance, -saaby Stiletto 12-11-2001, 05:07 PM well, i have the parts, just need to put 'em on!:D but here's a good brake down (get it...brake...down. i kill myself sometimes) of the options for getting parts and a how-to-install.

Go to a auto parts chain store and tell them you need brakes for a 91-93 NX2000, you will save $200 easy on the total price. You can also turn in your old calipers for a core return fee. Slightly dishonest, since you don't have a NX, but chances are the guy won't know and won't care. martin_g34 12-13-2001, 02:27 AM What's the torque member bracket? I have a friend at an auto parts store that can get me a good price on the calipers, but I want to know what that bracket is so I can get it from Nissan if possible. Does anyone know how much the slotted rotors are at SMC? Stiletto 12-13-2001, 11:52 AM Originally posted by martin_g34 What's the torque member bracket?

THAT IS THE BIGGEST RIP OFF EVER!! not a ripoff, just oem parts, not that they are any better than anything else. martin_g34 12-13-2001, 03:42 PM OOOH, I knew that.:D So it's just the piece that the caliper sits on. So can I get this at the dealer by itself? I'm thinking of doing this within the next month.

Ray K. ordered the NX brakes for his 98 SE from Courtesy, I think he paid a ridiculous price like $590 or something....sounds like a ripoff to me Brian.... seriuss 12-17-2001, 06:31 PM I ordered mine through my local dealer. Gave them the part numbers, and i returned my old calipers as a core. They didnt know any better! :D brian 12-24-2001, 11:48 AM Originally posted by Storm88000 Ray K. ordered the NX brakes for his 98 SE from Courtesy, I think he paid a ridiculous price like $590 or something....sounds like a ripoff to me Brian.... like I said they are original parts, not auto zone or whatever you want to put on your car, some people would rather have that. personally I would not pay it, I would put some auto zone ones on myself (If I did not get parts @ cost) and be done, it would only be a ripoff if they were actually marked up ALOT, like some aftermarket companies do. these have the same markup as any other part.... but I can see where you are coming from though, not trying to start a flame war of who is getting ripped off where | ||
