Not at all!  P11 brakes (and B15 brakes, which are comparable in size and
are actually interchangable) are HUGE compared to Sentra brakes, even
AD22VFs.  My rears *look* as big as an AD22, though I don't know
dimensions off the top of my head.  P11s and B15s *need* the extra size,
though, due to the weight.  P11s are easily 400 pounds heavier than an
SE-R with automatic transmissions.

If you want better brakes, there are options.  A good pad with stainless
lines and synthetic fluid will do wonders for pedal feel and fade
resistance.  You could also drop $2000 on a Brembo full-race brake system
if you really wanted to. ;)
