350z brake rotor install

Good guide, read this a few times before I did mine on my BNR Also the rear z calipers can be used with an adaptor bracket that I sourced in the UK, but the downside is you need to use mm z rear discs, plus side is handbrake is unaffected. Recently picked up another set of z Brembo front calipers for my Avenir GT4Z as they simply just bolt on, no inserts or drilling hubs required. Nice upgrade there. I have a 06 z with normal 2 pot calipers.

Will be a good upgrade for me. Do you think I will have a better braking? Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
