Brembo - Cheap?

Anyone know if these are actual brembo's?

http://www.autozone.com/brakes-and-t...?checkfit=true

Seems way cheaper than buying a used kit for 800$ + if you can make your own set for $400ish...

the remans are just refinished brembos. yes they are. but they are completely unfinished and a lot of the times they use harsh chemicals to strip the original paint so there might be some pitting in the metal. you will need to get these refinished still. also it is 164$ for a caliper and not 100$ because there is a core charge if you send them your stocks but since you are buying the core it is more expensive.

Yea, I would imagine the guys at autozone wouldnt even notice a core exchange for stockers though which still puts them at $400 ish, add powdercoat of choice for another $100 or paint them yourself with an epoxy for

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
If you fill out the info on the website on what car you drive it will tell you they don't fit G's, either coupe or sedan.

Looks like autozone has 20% off brakes. Also can pick up a set for the rear for about 700 including $300 ish in core fees.

Will these bolt up to a coupe w/o adapters?

Yea it ends up being almost exactly $400...that's assuming I can turn in the stock cores and they don't notice lol.
