i am going to buy GT-R callipers that are amended to fit the IS but i was wondering if anyone know how much of a difference would it make in terms of brakeing power?
thanks

Don't really know, but why do you feel the need to do that ? Is it for looks or do you feel your brakes aren't stopping you quickly enough ? What brake discs and pads do you have currently ?

Why don't you go for uprated pads/discs, braided hoses and maybe go for a dot 5.1 fluid? :biggrin:

Think you've already got uprated pads (EBC ?) and braided hoses, haven't you Asi ? Which is why I was kind of suprised that wasn't enough. I wonder if the pads aren't suiting your discs though ?

Edit - or perhaps do your brakes just need bleeding ?

if its the GTR calipers from the other site then i'd be a bit unsure of them. they dont seem to grip a lot of the disk.

I have uprated my brakes with EBC disk and pads and also Goodridge brake lines and I do not have any problems with braking. As Marcus said OEM brakes can handle up to around 350hp (from what I know they are also fitted on the SC430 which is much heavier and powerful car and the brakes work fine). I think putting larger brake kits it is an exaggeration for a Supercharger car which has around 200hp, unless if someone wants to fit them for looks or unless if Asi is going for something more powerful. I think he stated somewhere in the forum that he might sell his sc kit.
