Can install 03/04 Brembos on my 2007 Coupe?

My friends 2003 got totaled and is selling his brembos for a cheap price. My question is ... can I install those calipers onto my 2007 with ease or is it not worth it? I love the looks it gives to the wheels. Thank you in advance.

It's an upgrade yes but not as big of an upgrade it was for the earlier G before they went to the larger diameter rotors in 2006. Just make sure to grab the calipers and the rotors, get the rotors turned and some new pads if it's in the current budget otherwise bag and tag everything EXACTLY so you keep all the sets together including pad locations, you can disassemble and reassemble the pads/caliper/rotor and zip tie all the components back together to keep everything from getting mismatched.

I -think- you need the brake line to the caliper as well, something about a different size bolt or something?

If you decide to go this route, send them out and have them rebuilt and painted then add brake lines for the Brembos. You may as well do it right so they'll work as intended and look (*)(*) for years.
