Default 8 piston Brembos

I saw these on E-Bay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...5198177&rd=1,1


Anyone have any idea as to whether they might fit our Z? I'm tempted.......I don't know d*ck about brakes like these, so I thought I'd ask.....

the info is pretty general. Price seems too good to be true. ON eBay, If it sounds that way, it usually is I don't think brembo makes an 8 piston for the Z do they? I could be wrong

Well, the seller said they could be fitted with the right hardware, but since I still don't know sh*t about brake systems, thought I'd ask here.

"These calipers would be a great upgrade for your Ferrari 360, 355, Corvette, Viper, Porsche Turbos, GT1-3, Toyota Supra, Subaru WRX, RX7, etc. These are BETTER calipers than the ones used on the new Enzo or Porsche GT or Mercedes SLR and AMG."

Come on, there's no way it could fit all these cars. the fact that it is from a a private seller w/ only 14 feedbacks and not a store is wierd. they can get them in many different colors. Who just happens to have all these colors on hand. I vote stay away

No... These are not applicable to the 350Z/G35. They have no mounting brackets and the brake bias front to rear is not a 350Z application. Those are sick brakes. I looked into getting a set but found that there is no Z application.

some of his answers to his questions are BS as well. the only GTR 8 piston kit i seen for a nissan application is for the Titan trucks, so his claim of the lambo and mercedes being the only mad eapplicaiton for these is bogus. i would avoid this like the plague

'no part number' < stolen

From the source, RT the official Distrb. for Brembo:

4 Piston

So, I say no an 8 piston BBK brembo doesn't exist for the Z...

i think the High-end Z has a 8 piston caliper from brembo, so it might fit
