No. It's a different bolt pattern. Why not Just get the 370Z Akebono 14" Big Brake Kit

Well in that case, I am sure you could make a bracket that would work then.

I have a StopTech front/rear kit for my 350Z and called StopTech to see if it would fit on the 370Z. They told me its a direct bolt on for the Base/Non Sport Model and for the Sport Model I would need new brackets and rotor hats.

I am confused.. See if you can follow me.
The Akebonos on the Sport 370z are a direct bolt on for the non-sport 370z.

The akebonos need a different bracket to be installed on a 350z.

If the akebonos Do not need a bracket to install on the Non-sport 370z, this would mean that the 350z brake kit will not fit.

anyone else follow what I am saying? If I dont make sense, correct me.. as this would be cost effective for me to possibly buy a 350z brake kit for my 370z non sport.

370/g37 or any new nissan/infiniti akebonos will need a bracket to work on the 350/g35 setup. this has been proven

^ that is not what i am asking... i am asking if non-sport 370z brake mount points are
the same as 350z brake mount points (which are identical from '03-'08). for that we'd
need a 370z non-sport owner to confirm...

The uprights on the 370Z Sport and 370Z non-Sport are the same as far as brake mounting points go. The 350Z is different in the front.

The OP didn't say which BBK he was looking at, but as far as AP Racing goes:

Moving the front 6-piston 350Z kit over to the 370Z will require new hats, brackets and brake lines.

The rear 4-piston 350Z kit is a direct bolt-on to the 370Z IF the caliper brackets were made after September 2007. Earlier brackets will need some light milling or heavy grinding due to a clearance issue. All other components are interchangeable.

To get big brakes for a 370Z I recommend that you begin with a 370Z. Sure go ahead. Call me crazy.

The Akebonos 350Z bbk should fit on the Non-sport 370Z, because the Akebonos was original design for the 370Z. If that does make any sense? To fit the 350Z kit on the 370Z, just bolt it right up without using the 350Z custom brackets. I don't know how you would save money to buy the 350Z bbk for the 370Z, because it would be cost more, due to extra custom parts like the brackets and bolts. I would just buy the 370Z Akebonos bbk because it is cheaper without the custom non needed brackets. I hope this would help.

I have a 370z touring which does not have the Akebonos. The Akebonos are a direct bolt on to my car. Akebonos do NOT fit on 350z without a bracket.

He answered your question. Why on earth would Nissan make 2 different size brackets for the 370z sport and non sport packages?? That's just stupid because it's not cost effective

It all depends, just make sure that the brake kit you have has the same bolt pattern on what you install it on. And it wont ever hurt calling the manufacturer to double check.
