Will Brembo coupe brakes fit an 03 sedan?
yea they will as far as bolting on... you will need to get new dust shields to fit around or you can cut yours... i think they are just a few dollars for new ones... and of course you should know you will have to find wheels that clear them

I installed the Brembos (OEM calipers, rotors, pads) off a 2004 Coupe onto my 2003.5 Sedan. You need new rear caliper bolts as the stock bolts are little too short for the Brembo calipers. I went ahead and bought new caliper bolts for both the front and rear. While everything was off, I had stainless steel brake lines installed. I don’t know if you can reuse the existing brake lines or not, but the cost of the brake lines is small compared to the calipers and rotors. You will also need to cut the stock dust shield around the rear rotors to accommodate the larger Brembo rotors. If money is no object, you can have the dust shields removed and install the dust shields off the Coupe. But this involves removing the rear hubs which I’ve heard can be tricky. You won’t be able to reuse the stock wheels or spare tire from your 2003 Sedan as there isn’t enough clearance to get around the larger Brembo calipers. I bought a set of 6mt Coupe 18 inch wheels, and the 6mt spare tire. With the OEM 2003.5 brakes, I was going through pads like crazy and the dealers was changing or resurfacing my rotors all the time. The Brembos have been great!! If anything the Brembos are over engineered for the car. This is a good investment if you are going to keep the car past the 3 year/36k mile brake warranty Infiniti gave on the 2003 Sedans. The cost of ownership skyrockets if you need to install new pads and rotors all the time. I was able to order the bolts and the brake lines from performance nissan parts. I had a shop install the Brembos for $250 – I supplied all the parts. Good luck.
