Alot of guys like Nissan centras, mid 80's to early 90's I think. There was a post in the last month about the years. Some of us have also used and liked the Chevy truck front calipers, but you need to make a 1/2" spacer (very simple) due to the thin rotors we use. Personally, I just like buying USA parts when I can versus Jap car parts. Granted they are probibly both made in china, lol.

I just used a piece of 1/2"x1" flat stock and drilled two holes for the pins, works good and wont fall out.
