Question about brakes.
Hello
So I am in the process of replacing my front brakes because they are starting to squeal a lot. My question is, are 2003-2006 brakes the same? I know 2003-2004 came with and without brembos, but are all the non brembo ones the same? I believe seeing an article about infiniti revising the brakes in 2005 but I'm not quite sure.
I have a 2005 6mt Sport, are they the same as base model?

The easiest thing to do is to install the extensions and thread them up through the rear parcel shelf. You can adjust the shocks by turning the adjustment ***** on the extensions.
If you didn't install the extensions, you will have to jack up the rear of the car, remove the two shock tower bolts, and adjust the **** on top while pulling down the shock.

If your rear seats recline, you can access the tops of the shocks by pulling the seats forward and removing the lining attached by velcro. They will be under an oval shaped rubber cap.

In general, wider tires increase handling. I say in general, because there's way more to it than that. But in a very general term, the wider your tires are, and the further they are out from the car's centerline, the better the car will handle/corner.
We're not talking about how it drives, how it does/doesn't pull over bumps, etc, we're talking about performance handling.
There's WAY more to consider here, but if simply talking about handling performance, track use, etc, wider and further out = better.
The more important thing to consider is roll centers and suspension geometry. Anything that alters them in a negative way will decrease handling capability. If wider tires negatively effect your roll centers/geometry on your application, then it will make it worse, no matter how wide the tires are.
And more important than EITHER of the above, is the QUALITY/TYPE of tire you install.
A better quality 225 will outperform a 275 every day of the week, if all else is equal.
