I saw one member on the GSedan forum with this setup. I just want to know if anyone else has done this set up. Is it a direct bolt on, or is modification needed? I am in the market for a 2004 X and wanted to know if the Brembo Setup, Front and Rear would fit, Thanks in advance.

 

i know it's a direct bolt up for the RWD. Don't know bout AWD

 

Thanks for confirming at least the RWD bolt up. Anyone else know of someone who has these on an AWD Sedan? If it bolts up to RWD it should also bolt up to the AWD Sedan, unless the hub, spacing or there is some other difference between the AWD and RWD brake set up.

 

yes, it is a direct bolt on even for the X. The X 03-05 all have the same sized brakes as the coupes 03-04. no modification needed, just have to make sure your wheels will work with the bbk.

Yes, from what I know they will fit. As long as you can confirm the X has the same PN brakes as the rwd you are good. Depending on the deal you find, I would consider an aftermarket BBK. The oem brembos are only 12.8".

 

Thank you all for your informative contributions!!! Thanks ttrank, but I don't plan on doing much to make the X faster, just want an OEM upgrade like the Brembos F & R with the 4 piston calipers in the front for a little show and performance. Besides the deal is pretty good in comparison to a new BBK just for the Front. Thanks again!!! Oh, I plan on running 19x8.5, 35 offset, wheels all around, I think that's enough to clear the Brembo Calipers in the front, right?

 

qbturbo, how much and where are you getting the Brembos for if you don't mind me asking?

 

Sorry guys, $1,800, local junk yard in NYC. Good Deal? 4 Calipers, 4 rotors, 4 lines, 4 pads. Really good condition, car had less than 10k miles that they came off.

 

If it's at a junk yard, you should be able to talk em down to $1500. If you can, that's a steal for a full oem brembo system with only 10k miles on it.

Sup dude, you're getting them from saw mills?

I'd suggest you talk to them, tell em you saw them sell for cheaper online, not only is 1500 a lil too much, but 1800 is OD.

Talk them down to like... $1200-1250, $1300 MAX.

 

Only one problem with that auction....those were Sentra Brembos. They won't work on the G35 without custom rotors and other miscellaneous modifications.

 

Really? nvm then

But I saw an entire g35 brembo set on ebay end for about $1100 before, that was a few months ago.

 

$1100 is a very good deal, and yeah, I saw that one on ebay. But don't expect to get the Brembos at that price. A set in good condition usually goes for close to $1300-$1500+ on ebay.

I got a set of rear Brembo calipers brand new for $500 a few years ago in ebay. My front red Brembos were $700 from ebay (really overpaid about $200 for those).
