Nissan brake caliper question...

Don't you think that would mess with the ballance of the car? I'm not an expert either, just throwing some ideas your way.

The Nismo's rotors are 14 x 1.26 in the front and 13.8 x .79 (diameter x thickness in inches). I would gather that there would be fitment issues. Also, you also must consider i you put bigger calipers on the rear, even if they were to fit right...you are going to wear the rotor out twice as fast as the fronts. Just get you a set of stop techs, I put some on my C6 Vette....they were amazing...at a premium price however.
