About the brake

I was not able to find the information about the brake... so here is my question...

I was talking to one of my friend who knows about the car (I assume).. and he is saying that I can not change my brake since i have a small rim. so first thing I should do is changing rims?

(off topic... I thought I'm just going get tinting for the car... but now, why do I want to do more stuff to it >.<;;

ohh and thanks in advance!!

Ok im GUESSING you're talking about upgrading to BBK(Big Brake Kits) like the G37 or similar, if so then your friend is right you need larger diameter rims to fit those big kits, however if you're just thinking about upgrading the rotors and pads and not mess with the calipers or size of the rotors you should be fine... basically need more detail of what you're trying to do

Do you have a Journey or Sport? Have had my Sport on the racetrack, and can assure you they work just fine.

I agree, stock brakes work just fine. sometimes i ask myself why i spent the money on the g37 brakes.... they just look pretty.

If you feel that the OEM brake is not enough for you, then it's your call. You would probably not regret upgrading.
