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.

Where can I find decent priced drilled/slotted replacements for my 06 sedan 6mt/sport? Everything I see is all saying "standard models - excluding sport) & the place sent me a set before but they were just the regular set up so they didn't fit.
Unless you were looking up 03-04 parts (or 07+ sedan parts), then yes there's a difference between base and sport/Brembos.
You're looking for part number 120.42080 Front & 120.42088 Rear. They first three numbers will vary depending on the brand, drilled, slotted, etc.

06 Sedan should have the same sized rotors as all 05-07 coupes and 05/06 sedans. There was no difference between sport and standard.

They must have sent you rotors for 03-04 base models, those were smaller than the 05 revisions.

That is a 07+ Sedan caliper. This is a 05+ caliper (bolts on) You can see the difference in the spacing.
You will need this to fit the caliper: CLICK HERE

Can you post a picture of the bracket installed?
I shouldnt' be on here reading this bc I'm at work but I am needing rotors soon on my 03 sedan. I dont' want to go with plain rotors and I read here that the 2 piston G/Z front brake setup would be a nice upgrade. what model should I be looking for to get these parts off of? are the front rotors bigger than what I have on there, I'm assuming yeah but I just want to be assured. Thanks in advance.
