just wondering.. if i was to get brembos off a porsche 911 turbo, would there be a way to modify the brackets to fit my Z? want to upgrade..but cant find people selling their brembos here.. or anywhere online

 

anything is possible, with enough money....

To make Porsche Big Reds fit a 350Z, you will need at least:
-- to fabricate a mounting bracket to fit the Big Red to your car, preserving the correct offset of the caliper and the rotor to the suspension geometry
-- to find a rotor company willing to make a rotor that fits your hub's centerbore and is the correct offset, your best bet is a two-piece floating rotor where you can keep the hat, but replace only the rotor when it wears out
-- fabricate brake lines that connect your new Big Reds to the Z's hard lines
-- perform volumetric pressure tests to find the correct size master cylinder to compensate for the different sized pistons in the Big Reds
-- buy that new master cylinder and install it in the car, probably with some custom fabricated mounting bracket
-- and, you still need to find someone selling Porsche Big Reds...

So, if you have the time, money and resources to make all that happen, then, yes, you can modify Big Reds to fit your car.



or, you can go buy a set of Stoptechs www.stoptech.com... and if you really want Brembos, go to www.tirerack.com and do a search on 350Z brakes...


good luck!

one of my car buddy replaced his Viper brake to 911 turbo brakes. it costed alot of money and time. i think buying a new brembo kit or stoptech would be much cheaper and safe since no need for custom work.

 

yes.... there is a way, as stated above.

but WHY ?

 

If there is one thing I don't want customize, it's brakes. Your life pretty much depends on it. I would go w/ a safe alternative like others have said.
