I bought a 2018 Maxima SV a couple of years ago. Unfortunately there is almost no aftermarket for that car. I wanted to upgrade the brakes like when I put Shelby GT500 brakes on my previous 07 Mustang GT. Finding out how to do this on a Maxima is kind of difficult. I assumed that there would be overlap between the Maxima and the Z's or Infiniti's. But which one? I found that what many people have done is put the 370z Akebono brakes on to the Maxima. It's pretty much a straight swap. The down side to doing this is the cost. It's about $2,000 for the kit!!! After struggling with the cost for about a year or so I did a Google search and came across Concept Z. Their price for the kit was about $300 cheaper than Z1 motorsports which is the company that most people seem to go with.
I gave Concept Z a call and spoke with Nick for about 15 minutes. Nick was very helpful. I bought their set and the calipers arrived within a few days. Problem is that they sent me 4 rear calipers. I was pretty bummed because I was planning on having the brakes installed on the weekend. Nick shipped out the correct front calipers via 2-day shipping so I was able to get them on Friday and have them installed on Saturday. Great customer service.
The brakes look awesome and my Max stops soooooo much better now.
Thanks Concept Z. read more
