And cars can go faster on highways in Japan I believe, therefore you'd want the beefier brakes. That and Nissan is trying to cut a profit in America, and cutting down front brake size is an easy way to cut costs.

same calipers as early 90's maxima you can use 4 lug rotors off of altima, I was going to go this route until I ran into some q45 calipers.
