Is there such thing. I know you can't stuff much in there because of the 14s, but I have a leaky caliper and figure why not upgrade!?!

You can go with NX2k calipers/brackets/rotors. But I learned that after adding some boost, that setup is borderline not enough. So I went with Wilwood 4 piston/11" rotor setup in the front. In the back I plan on going with 90-94 Maxima calipers and redrilled to 4x100 rotors, it is a direct bolt on. Got anymore questions let me know. You can't run the nx2k brakes on the se-r stockers with out using a 5mm spacer. If you go wilwood, 15" wheels are a must and not all of them clear either.

My rims are aftermarket, how do you measure offset again? How much bigger is the nx2000 setup? 2pot calipers maybe? half inch larger rotor? Those are my guesses.Did you notice a significant performance increase?I'm just looking for a little bit better, nothing drastic.This car doesn't warrant a Wilwood setup.

You would have to pull one of the wheels off and look on the inside to find the offset for the wheel, listed as ET #. The nx2k setup is a definite improvement over stock. Rotors, calipers are bigger and quite a bit thicker. They are still single pot though.

Unfortunately these are knock offs that don't have the offset stamped. There is some way to measure isn't there?
