Default Brembos

So, if I want to replace my factory brakes with a completely Brembo system, much like what is found on the Grand Touring version, what would that take in both time and money? Can someone point me to a link for the stuff that would be required? Is it even worth it (other than they look kind of cool).

the GT brembos are WAY better than the stock OEM brembos. You will feel the difference when you go to the track but if your a daily driver then go with the OEM ones. Then again a set of GT brembos will cost you around 3 or more K for just the front lol. The stock oem brembos are around 2k i think. Shouldn't be too hard but make sure you get a knowledgeable buddy to help ya.

OP are you talking about the OEM Brembos on the Grand Touring 350Zs or the Grand Touring aftermarket 6 pot front kit from Brembo?

if you are going to be using them heavily for track usage, then the track/gt Brembos would probably be worth it. For day-to-day driving however, the stock brakes perform better than most people expect:

sorry, but that is incorrect. Brakes for the track and grand touring models (the only models that offer brembo brakes) have the same part number. In other words there is only ONE Brembo system that Nissan offers on any Z.

i think they were talking about the "GT Brembo" directly from Brembo, not the ones found on GT or Track versions
