370Z Brakes?

Does anyone know if the 370Z OEM (Akebono) sport brakes will be a direct bolt-on to a 2003 350Z with non-Brembo currently installed?

I'm not 100% sure, but I am 90% sure that they are not. Check with Concept Z to be sure, but I think their kit comes with an adapter bracket to make them work. I do remember someone sent me their calipers to powdercoat, and he said he was missing some adapters ( a different vendor, who is not a sponsor here and who also sells a kit forgot to include them)

the brakeman kit Robispec developed used different brackets to mount the calipers to the 370 uprights....so no the two models aren't compatible.
