Default Rebuilding Stock Brembos

I found this thread while searching on how to rebuild and refresh the Brembo brakes.

I followed this step by step procedure and it was dead on and thought Id share it with you guys.

So to do both front brembos you need to order two kits? and two kits for rear?


This should be the rear set:

I'm confused? It says for the front you need two kits, one for each caliper I assume.

"In the Nissan universe, this part is known as SEAL KIT-DISC BRAKE.
The 350Z (Z33) uses a quantity of 2 of this part in this location."

On the rear it only mentions you need 1 kit

I think that is wrong no? You will probably need 4 total one for each caliper. Can anyone confirm?

They probably upgraded the forum software and the original link is broken.
