But if it's just a matter of better lines (what, bigger diameter???) and a different fluid (different how??), that seems like an incredibly easy change for Nissan to just make standard. Adding an oil cooler adds material and labor costs to production. Changing the brake lines and fluids only adds material cost, not labor.

Adding a telescope wheel is probably a big engineering change which would effect many other components, so that's another matter.

Do we really need another fracking brake pad/fluid thread? :happydance:

:rofl2: You are absolutely right. I think the difference is that the brake thing doesn't have 20,000 threads and 10,000 sticky's about it. Not to mention, an OEM option that only costs $500 to fix if you track your car.

Again, I agree. Better yet, no price increase either.
