brake upgrade

I already have 6th gen brakes on my 02 and was wondering if there is something better I can upgrade to. I saw article on my4dsc about using the 05-06 g35 2 piston calipers so I have been considering that.

I saw caliper adapter brackets that allows the use of 370Z 4 piston calipers and 355mm rotors. I was wondering if those same brackets would allow the use of the 330mm rotors and single piston calipers from the G37 coupe?

I did the brakes on my girlfriend's G37 coupe and there was 3 different front brake options that came up. 320mm with dual piston caliper, 330mm with single piston caliper and the 355mm with 4 piston caliper. her's has the 330mm rotor with single piston caliper.

I think I'm going to order the caliper adapter bracket and test the fitment for the 330mm rotor and caliper on my 02 Max.

Not sure about the G car stuff, but sounds like a fun project. I built a 17Z Brembo 6 piston caliper (Porsche Cayenne) and 14" two-piece rotor setup for mine. Got a link to the caliper bracket adapters you're looking at?
