The R32 brake rotors are the same diameter as '04 stock, though they are 6mm thicker, and the calipers are thicker, so you could see some improved heat handling at the track, but realize that the calipers are made of cast iron (unless they are from an R32 M-Spec), which is heavier than stock. With cast iron calipers and thicker rotors, you'll be adding some unsprung weight. Probably better just to get a set of Brembos from a G35 coupe.

Hate to bump this;

But does anyone know if they are direct bolt on or would you need custom brackets made?
