Default Question about AP bbk on stillen.com

I have been researching on bbk, when i was looking at AP front bbk on stillen.com I notice one thing that confuse me. the AP front bbk for 350z on stillen.com actually has diff parts number vs the AP bbk for Maxima. However, when i download the spec and info sheet, they actually have the same specs... so does that mean Maxima and 350z brakes are actually compatible with each other??

The difference is probably in the caliper mounting bracket and that is it. I would not buy the Maxima kit and hope it will fit.

I believe I have read somewhere that the stock maxima brakes and stock non-brembo brakes are basically the same, having the same calipers, but the front maxima brakes have larger rotors and a different mounting bracket to move the caliper farther out. In other words, getting a maxima bracket and rotor set for the front would be an inexpensive upgrade.

so a full set of maxima brake should fit in a 350z?? since the same ap kit for 350z is $100 more than the maxima kit.

I read both of them, I am not saying I am getting the Maxima brake. I am just trying to find out if they are actually compatible with each other. And actually both the AP kits for Maxima and Z are the same on specs, so I am just confused why would the Z brake cost more when they are actually the same parts.
