Brembo Brakes on my 5th Gen
Hopefully this is not to big of a thread bump. But for those interested in using the Brembo caliper, please take a look at this thread.

Just to throw something else in the mix, I know it was mentioned before but not explored. The G37 Akebono or 370Z BBK (4 piston with 14" rotors, LOL), is a direct bolt on to the 6th gen maxima (NO bracket needed) basically plug and play. Now I do not know the difference between the 5th and 6th gen break set up but it there isnt any, that too should bolt up fine. AGAIN lots of variables there. I know its bolt on to a maxima because it has been done on a 2007 Altima (which shares the same break set up as the 6th gen max).
Am I understanding this correctly? I read that the rears are a different story with the e-brake so most leave them alone...just wanted to clear this up. When you say torque member...is this another name for the caliper bracket? Also, can braided lines from my 5.5gen be hooked right up to them? Thanks in advance.

So theoretically anyone with a 5.5gen can do a complete brake swap (front/rear) with g37/370z sport calipers and rotors with factory bolt-on parts? Am I understanding this correctly? I read that the rears are a different story with the e-brake so most leave them alone...just wanted to clear this up. When you say torque member...is this another name for the caliper bracket? Also, can braided lines from my 5.5gen be hooked right up to them? Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.Like I said, i know they fit a 6th gen, so IDK about 5th gens. Sorry. I am not sure the rears fit for the 6th so I cannot confirm they work on the 5th.
