ford taurus calipers bolt right up, and use 85 vw rabbit pads. biggest pads u can get. u’ll stop like a bicycle.
you should probly flush the brake fluid while ur at it and replace it with fresh 10w30 royal purple full synthetic motor oil. way better than that dot crap. doesnt get hot or breakdown under harsh braking
hope this helps

_sigh_ OP, you really do have to educate yourself a TINY bit first before you flame people for flaming you.
ALL aftermarket calipers are BBK’s. Why would anyone make an aftermarket slightly improved alternative to OEM?
You have to turn back to OEM Nissan parts. If you need bigger calipers (you prolly don’t), get 180SX calipers, otherwise REBUILD your current ones, as they’re prolly in garbage shape anyway since it’s an old car. Then get pads, rotors, braided SS lines, and switch to a high performance braking fluid like RBF600.
This is all you’re going to need, even if you track your car.

Agreed… Just replace the rotors an pads powerslot makes a nice rotor or even brembo blanks can be had for cheap Hawk pads and like ^^ said get some SS lines all round… Itll firm up the pedal… bleed well and once again use what ^^ suggested for fluid… youll notice better feel … less fade an not break your wallet

upgrade to 180sx, or 300zx as mentioned. the best way to go.
