question on 2007 brakes?
Ok so i have a 2004 g coupe with-OUT the brembo brakes. After doing some research i found out that my brakes are 11.6 inch front and 11.5 rear in rotor size. I also found that the 2006-2007 g coupe came with 12.6 and 12.1 front and rear rotor sizes. My question is when it comes time to get new brakes can i simply order the 2007 rotors and pads and just swap them on or is it not compatable??? Furthermore will i have a noticeable diference in stopping power ???? Tried searching and found nothing so id appreciate anyone's insight thanks in advance

I have a 2k4 coupe and I swapped out my 2k4 brakes for the 2k6 brakes (calipers). Everything is a direct bolt on. I have cross drilled and slotted rotors and SS brakelines from R1 Concepts (also in the 2k6 12.6" front and 12.1" rear). There is less brake fade compared to the 2k4 brakes. The SS brake lines give you a little better brake feel. I am completly satisfide with the swap. (they also look better than the smaller 2k4 brakes)

Here's another option that I was looking at: 13" Racing Brake OE Caliper BBK
What's nice is that you get a 13" rotor, however, I believe the front calipers on the '05+ are better than the older '03-'04 calipers.
