My engineer wasn't too keen on going down that path. ie, questions about quality and safety.

Edit: plenty of Brembo kits from international sellers too. Maybe that's an avenue, being an established brand? $5k delivered, ouch
You know you want 20" wheels. Don't Subi's use Brembo? Calipers are easy, it's getting the disc offset that's the pain. Those dogbones in the picture are similar to mine. Was your engineer specific in his concerns? Every man and his dog seems to make/rebadge calipers these days.

What about Hi Spec?, Aussie Mike uses them and hasn't posted any negative feedback that I've seen. Looking at their website they do play with Nissans so might have some insight into the rears. I know you'll miss the 20's but time will ease the pain
