Another Brake Question

I recently put new pads on my 03 G35 sedan. The rotors were in pretty good condition but the who worked on it said I may need calipers soon. He said they were OK now but it was just a heads up.

I'm going to have some suspension work done in the near future (struts, coils, compression rod, and some weird noise in the driver side front tire area) so i figure while he is at it I might as well do the brakes.

I read that the 05 sedan brakes have 2 calipers in the front and 1 in the rear but the rotor size is different. I would like to go that route. However, (and this may be a dumb question) will the pads currently on my car fit the 05 calipers? Also is it a simple bolt on? I saw a post where it mentioned i would need a different bracket for the rear rotors but then another person said he didnt need it.

Sorry please dont flame me but I searched and i think I found an answer but I'm not sure.

Thanks in advance

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
The 05-06 brakes are a nice upgrade over yours. They are a direct bolt-on, but your pads will not fit the new calipers. You should be able to find a full set fairly cheap in our marketplace or on ebay.

Thanks. I see where there is a BBK so I can put the brakes from a G37 on my car. Could I use the brakes from an 08 370z? I'm only asking because there is a guy on ebay selling the front brakes from his 08 Z and he makes it seem like its a direct fit?
