I don't know if this will help, but auto coupes and non-track Z's have the same bolt pattern as the Brembo's. You could ask at the Infiniti parts department, they should be able to bring up the schematic on their computer of both a sedan and coupe brembo to tell you if they are the same.
Good luck.

They fit, the sedan wheels do not clear them though.

Yes they will fit and they should clear the sport wheels. My BBK clears the 04' oem sport wheels.

I had a set of brembos from an 04 coupe. I installed the fronts and my 05 18's did not clear. What BBK do you have - it's not in your sig?

I wonder the size difference between the Racing Brake and OE Brembos? Obviously the Brembos and my 05 brakes are 13", but the Brembos are much wider. They looked fantastic on my OB sedan, but none of my wheels cleared them (summer, winter, track) and I did not want to buy newones. I'll check out your Racing Brake kit. Thanks for the heads up.

Brembos are 12.8" 4-pot.

RB has measurements on their site which should help out.

Did you sell the brembos?

Yes I sold them to another member here (maybe my350z, I forget). I really want to upgrade the brakes, but I am not interested in buying all new wheels.

I don't mean to jack your thread but I've got a pretty much similar fitting question. I've got a 06 g35 coupe and I'm looking to upgrade the calipers on it to the brembo ones. Their not that easy to come by but I did come across a shop that's selling 2 front and 2 rear brembo calipers off an 06 subaru STI. I was wondering if anyone knows if they fit. I'm running with the OEM 19" stagared infiniti RAYS rims. I don't know if they clear either. Thanks in advance

^ Don't think anyone would accuse you of threadjacking a 4+ year old thread.


Never knew that Subaru STI brembo's bolt straight up to the first gen G35's. I'd imagine that they would fit assuming they are of similar if not exact dimensions as the g35/350z brembo's. Are you sure they bolt up to the G35?


Only way to know for sure is to do an actual test fit behind your 19" OEM's. Those coupe Ray's do clear alot of BBK tho from seeing various setups around here.
