07' 350z brakes

I know that there are a few members running 350z rear brakes (non-Brembo) and I might be getting some 07' front 2POT/rear single piston calipers.

My question is, would the fronts bolt on just like the rears did?

Any input would be great...oh, and what's the quesstimated price that I should pay for the f/r calipers used with 7,000 miles on them?

Would the front rotors "bolt" right on as well? Are they any bigger than ours?

(yes I know that the rear rotors would be beneficial as well because they are vented, but right now I am concentrating on the calipers.)

What is the benefit of this Dan, you can't track them, they won't brake better than your stockers and they cost you money you could put towards a real kit.

Dual piston=better distribution up front

Rear=larger piston+vented disc

If you get it for the price that was posted that is a good price. I was looking at some 06 front for 200 from somebody but when I got them they were not full calipers.

Oh ya, I remember you telling me about that.

And I saw the pictures with the calipers in two pieces...what's that about?

I was told they were full calipers but when I received them it was missing the slider. Returned for a full refund and never looked for another set.

"Hey Dan, haven't stopped to try and figure out the price for just the calipers, but my very preliminary research on the rear calipers makes me think that the 03-05 rears are the same, but change at 06 and going forward (mainly due to going from 17" stock wheels to 18s starting in 06). The part number is the same for 06 and 07 calipers."

Think we already knew that the 03-05 rears worked. Wasnt he inquiring about 06' or 07' rears. The front 06' are 2 pot and am told they will work. I already have the 03' 350z calipers and rotors with ss lines in the back and will also attempt the 06' 350z fronts. Should be on in a couple of weeks.

In theory, but that doesn't equate to better stopping, nor do you lose any weight. At least with a set of Wilwoods you drop lbs

Oh, and I'm not trying to rag on you, I just think upgrades should do something.

true, true...and I knew that but figured I might give these a try...BUT when I heard the price of $650+shipping for just the calipers I thought and I think I may just stick to the stockers until I finish all of my "go" mods, and then I'll spend the equivalent on a full WilWood BBK

Look around for a better price. Ill be spending about a total of $350 for 03' rear and 06'front. 06' still has 2 pot.
