OEM Brembo Brake Swap (In Work)
I'm trying to check online to know for sure if they fit my 07 coupe. I bought the setup on eBay . It's said it came off a 03 coupe. The system includes brembo calipers both front and rear, crossed drilled slotted rotors, brake pads, and brake lines all attached. Where go to know this will fit?

Try craigslist.org, ebay.com, car-part.com. You can get lucky and find all four for $250 shipped like I did, but a reasonable price to pay for all four is around $1000. Another option if you cannot find them for the right price is the Akebono kit at $2000 with everything that you need, and thats all new stuff! http://www.z1motorsports.com/350_g35...oducts_id=4626

G'day I pick up my 6MT V35 sedan in a couple of days (it is getting complied I am from Australia), keen to do this. How does the pedal feel with the stock Brake master cylinder and booster? Are they the same as the Brembo equiped cars from stock?

i think there is no difference.. breaks are really touchy until you get used to it.

320 mm disc fit onto the car. When you put the calipers on the discs touch the springs on the top of calipers. If you take the disc off and put only calipers on they fit.
It might be the backing plate was getting in the way. But we just can't see why it wouldn't be able to fit.....
I could have 5mm on discs machined off them and everything I think would fit and work. Also the brakelines are to short. Will upgrade these to braided ones. So if they turn out to be R230 that's what I will have to do.
Or Resell them and buy AP Racing custom 6 pots and be done with it....

it would also be nice not to leak any brake fluid on my pretty calipers.
Torque specs?
Thanks,
George
