Brembo Retrofits!
 

So, the new popular thing to do is the Akebono upgrade but there is a group of guys doing SRT8 front/rear 4/4pot 6/4pot and also the 17z/18z Porsche front. While some are okay with running a 4/2 pot system like our OEM Brembos and Akebono, I feel that I will need better stopping power. I looked around and looked for some alternatives. There's the usual Stop Tech and Rotora, then I found the SRT8 group.

After doing some research, I decided it wasn't for me. Material being shaved off gets me sketched out. Losing out on integrity of the vehicle is just a nono in my eyes.

Anyone have any other alternatives? BMW Brembo? Cadillac CTS-V?
Does anyone has information on Brembo GT's and what they came off of?

I'm looking for a larger 4 or 6 pot and a 4 pot rear and would like NOT to compromise bias.

ALL INFORMATION WELCOME!

6 pot front


4 pot front


4 pot rear

there are people doing ctsv brembo swaps but none currently available for the 350z/g35 chassis. mostly for the 300zx and 240.

your current options short of makkng your own adapter bracket are the ones you posted.

has a set of 17z 6pot fronts with brackets for sale. or you can buy em off rockauto for like 160$ish a piece plus 150$ for the adapter but then you would have to get them pc'ed or painted

ek did this by making his own adapter. looks like the pics are all gone though

If it involves removing material I'm not interested, I'm sure you have to with the 17z.

yeah. it doesnt look that bad though. but it looks like the calipers themselves as well as the hubs need to be grinded down. i actually have a set of front and rear adapters. been thinking about going that route

Yeah, no thanks lol

My thoughts exactly. I hear that the new AMG Brembos are radial mounted so no grinding is needed. This is positive news!

the guys making the bracket have already developed a radially mounted bracket for multiple applications. although they havent said for what caliper. u could hit him up and ask

They're still working on it... I at least am happy to see that on Driver more people are interested in upgrading to a larger 6/4 pot. Out on My350z, they are all content with 4/2 pot brembos with such small contact area.

Sweet, I've also been looking into going a different route other than OEM Brembos or Akebonos. Been following the Facebook page as well and hoping that adapter is compatible with the g35.

Just put a wilwood 6/4 pot kit on, $2750 shipped including pads and lines...

How is it compared to brembo's, if you can make that comparison?

Hmmm. This may be something to consider. Considering the 4/4 pot Stoptech kit is over $3k.

Tod is a good guy, he'll take care of you guys...

I didn't mention that my michelin pilot super sports were rubbing on my rear fender so I haven't driven yet with the new kit... I'll throw some pics up tonight when I'm rolling the fenders some more... I went with black calipers and slotted rotors.

Others have described this kit as overkill unless you are tracking the car. The rotors are 14" in front, same as akebono but they weigh 19 pounds as opposed to 30 (2 piece akebonos are available, but everybody has akebonos)

The calipers weigh maybe 2 pounds each...

I don't regret my decision at all, I would have if I went brembo or akebono.

Guys with brembos call them brownbos because after some time at the track they overheat and become discolored... The benefit to them is they are very light but like you said they lack in contact area and the rotors don't have much to them to absorb heat.

Did I mention you don't have to remove the calipers to change out the pads? :DOMO:

Overall this kit will give you better stopping power than akebonos, better looks, and significant weight savings for the same cost (assuming you went with two piece rotors from z1 for the akebono's)
