Brembo BBK Question...help, please

Eihtball99 · 06-18-2011, 01:29 PM

Hi guys,

Brake noob with two questions for the resident brake geniuses:

I found a local seller on Craigslist who is selling his orange Brembo calipers off of a 2003 G35.

1. Will those calipers fit my '10 370Z Touring?

2. If I buy Brembo calipers, am forced to buy Brembo rotors (and other parts) to match?

I like the orange and would love to have Brembos, but not if it's going to be a big headache.

Thanks!

you can buy other brand rotors to match brembo capliers. like stoptech.. correct me if im wrong.
cant really answer your first question

I don't think so. They include a special bracket to adapt akebonos to the 350z, so if ours don't bolt right up on theirs, theirs might not bolt up to ours.

Then again, my stoptech kit I got fits both cars.

best bet is to PM Dustin@Z1 and ask him, since he builds their conversion kits.

Great info, guys. I will PM Dustin and ask him.

Mike, if I don't end up with these, you'll have some Infiniti Akebonos coming your way in the next few weeks.

Thanks again, gents. Cheers.
