That is true. The front discs are about 1" bigger in diameter and the pads cover about 4% more. It would obviously require replacing the calipers, disc, pads so it wouldn't be a cheap upgrade. I'm not positive if the backs are significantly different or not.akley88 wrote:doesnt the v8 pathfinder have a little big bigger brakes?
I'm not too sure, if so, I may look into getting a set of those from a scrap yard. Tons of those around here. I wish I had a V8 pathy tho. I wonder how much of a difference it really makes driving wise. The V6 does pretty good in my opinion, still has plenty of up-and-go even with the new tires and all. With the vdc off it'll still get em spinning pretty good on a dirt roadakley88 wrote:doesnt the v8 pathfinder have a little big bigger brakes?
Funky_ChPimp wrote:Surprisingly, not a huge difference. In fact I found the V6 to be quicker at passing speeds (50-80 for me). V8 a tad quicker off the line. They're within a few tenths 0-60. However, if you're towing that V8 makes a difference with the down-low torque.akley88 wrote:I wonder how much of a difference it really makes driving wise. T
You could probably get salvage parts and swap the brakes. The front calipers run $500 new. You'll need to have at least 17" rims though.
get a few mods and the power returns. mine pulls good with the 295s i can keep up and pass with many cars that are smaller.Funky_ChPimp wrote:Haha oh yeah, before I got 285's I used to brag on a pathfinders passing gear. I'd be going 60 and mash maybe a quarter of an inch more out of it and hit 80 by the time I pass the car in front of me! I bet the gears are a big aspect of it tho. I haven't looked at what ratio is stock but I know I used to have 4.11's in a '92 cherokee up 9" on 37's and that in line six would spin all four off the line. Good times hahaha
