Those aren't made by brembo either, they are made by Akebono and they are larger than the OEM brembos.

^either way the brakes from an '08 G35 or an '08 G37 they aren't Brembos, as others have stated.

Hey redlude, do you have any information regarding 03-04 Brembo's vs. 06?
Any place I could read and not bother you

What information do you need? There isn't alot of detailed information out there, just stuff I've gathered from various threads throughout my time here. The front rotors are almost exactly the same size, while the rear brembo rotors are larger

04' Brembo to 07' swap

Thanks Gilley for the info.!

Redlude97 can you confirm that the master cylinder would need to be changed? I don't know what the master cylinder is so I'm lost.

Has anyone actually done this swap?

I cannot confirm that it needs to be changed, all I know for sure is that the part numbers are different between the brembo's and 06's. This may or may not be a problem, it will work with either but its hard to know if the system is working optimally with the other master cylinder or not

Close - G37 brakes are generic Infiniti - The G37S is Akebono.

Instead of cutting the dust shields can I just switch them?

Local Infiniti Dealership says the swap can't be done! I'm not really sure why. They started by talking about how the suspensions are completely different. I'm not sure why it would matter?

Does anyone know of someone who has put OEM Brembo's on an 06'/07?

Brembos will fit on the 03-07 coupes , but you will have to remove or cut the dust shield. The suspension doesn't matter. I even put the OEM brembos on my 03 G35 sedan. I bet you dealer would really say that's impossible. I had to cut the rear dust shields though.
