+1 for this answer.

Remember guys, if you're posting, please try to speak from experience and not speculation. We don't want any BS such as the picture a few posts up flooding this thread.

The brakes will fit with the Akebono Brackets. It will be much more cost effective if you do a 2 piston G/Z front brake setup.

Are there any CAD drawings for the Brembo calipers (front and rear)? Looking for something 1:1 scale similar to what Wilwood posts on their site.

Here's an example:

Check the 03 sport brakes section of the FSM.

Also, no dice on the FSM. It has assembly drawings and some exploded views, but everything is isometric or perspective; no side/top drawings.

G35 350z h tech springs?

I'm thinking about buying 350z h tech spring for my 04 g. What aftermarket shocks/struts should I buy for my car? What are the best?

Tokico seems to be the popular brand here, I have a set of Tokico HP ("Blues") shocks paired with my Tein springs. However, last time I checked (I could be wrong now) they stopped distributing in the US so your best bet is to find a used set. However Tokico does make other products so you could check them out.

07 G sedan brakes will fit your car with the akebono bracket. You are better off upgrading to 06+ g35 coupe/350z brakes.

07 Sedan brakes will NOT fit your 03 Sedan (directly). 05-06 Sedan and 05-07 Coupes were updated to 2-piston calipers and larger rotors, so those would be a good upgrade. The 07+ Sedan brake CAN fit if you use the Akebono brackets because the mounting ears are different for the V36 bodies. But if you go to the trouble of getting Akebono brackets, you might as well hold out for Akebono calipers.

Tokico HP's are backordered with no known delivery date. A good OEM option these days would be KYB Excel-G (GR-2) shocks.

Thanks for the info I am in the process of getting some brackets since I picked up the 07 brakes for such a great deal getting the brackets would work for me.
Any suggestions on where to look for the brackets
