350z 2 piston front brake upgrade!!!

Ok I did the 350z rear caliper/SS line and cross drilled/slotted change to my 2007 maxima. I got my 2006 cross drilled/slotted rotors today and went to size them up with the 2006 2 piston calipers. Well the *******s only sent half the caliper. I dont have the bolts (no biggie) but also dont have the floating part of the caliper. It should be obvious that I cant use the other half of my original caliper right? If he doesnt have the other half should I get my money back or try and get the rest of the parts? Appreciate the help and yes I miss my Z. They arent open till monday but please somebody inform me.

I really could not understand what you are trying to do Your car is a 2007... what's 2006 part - Z calipers? If that's the case, could you enlighten me why you want to use them? It still uses 12.6" 20.5 lb rotors and cast-iron calipers. Just because it's a 2 piston design?
Some pictures would help too.

All your points are valid but was told it was kinda like a brake upgrade. I wanted cross dried/slotted rotors and SS LINES anyhow so why not get 2 piston calipers instead of one? Wont it help?

No I was going to do the front to the 2006 350z 2 piston calipers with SS line but the ******* compnay only sent half the rotors. So now Im broke and have to wait and get my money back to get new calipers and put everything on th fronts so Ill have both done.

calipers should include the torque member. Call the company and tell them you want a refund or the entire part.

keep us updated on the upgrade...I have been thinking about doing a BBK with either a z32 caliper, q45 caliper, A34 caliper or maybe the Z's. How much did u pay for the Z's calipers?
