350z Brembo's on 370z?
 

Hello again! A local 350z owner who I'm in contact with recently did the 350z Brembo brake kit conversion. Forced induction did its part and now he's parting out the car. :tiphat:

I did some digging in the innerwebs and found only ways to mount 370z akebonos to 350z rotors using a bracket of some sort. Considering how many parts are interchangeable between the two models, it should the same as if I were converting base model brakes to akebonos, right?

What do you guys think? Should I forgo this idea and just get akebonos altogether? Or give it a shot and post my results here?

As 370z's get older and older I have a feeling a lot of 350z's will be cannabalized in the coming future in order to keep its (subjectively more beautiful) sister on the road. Perhaps this is just the beginning!

:stirthepot:

Are the 350z brembos better than 370z sport akebonos?

Both dual piston I believe, from what I know both rotors are the same so I imagine Brembo's and Akebonos should be similar in size

No way to find out 4sure unless I buy them!

I know they're both dual piston, that's why I'm asking - doesn't seem like an upgrade. Wouldn't it make more sense to either go to a lot more serious brakepower or simply leave it as is?

I think he’s upgrading from base model brakes. Are these Brembos a lot cheaper than Akebonos? I have a base and upgraded to the akebonos and no real additional hardware needed, just cut back the dust shield a little to fit new rotors, add new brake lines and the old bracket works for the Akebonos, so I would go that route if I were you unless you get them for nearly free.

350z Brembos have smaller piston sizes front and rear, even though they’re also 4/2 piston calipers. I doubt a full Brembo set up is THAT much cheaper to justify not just buying the akebonos.

It's a downgrade. The Akebono's are better than the 350z Brembo's. Most upgrade the 370z Sport brakes.

That's what I've seen over the years as well.
