I currently have a 2006 Grand Touring 350Z and a 2007 Touring 350Z. Obviously the Grand Touring has the Brembo brake package and lighweight rims. Can the Brembo's be easily swapped with the 2007 stock touring package brakes? The dealership won't have anyone until Monday to discuss this so I thought someone here on the forum might know how involved it is or if it is even possible.

Thanks in advance!

 

yes it is possible if you get all the part. all you will need to do is trim the rear rotor dust shield. do a search and you'll find all the details

 

I've done it... somewhat time-consuming (budget about 6 hours), but it's a very easy job.

a couple tips:

1- The only thing that is not interchangable (other than, obviously, the rotors and pads) is the rear caliper mounting bolts, which have a different (finer) thread. Make sure you have the Brembo bolts before you start.

2- The dust shield is fairly thick and a little difficult to cut neatly with regular tin snips. I started with snips, then switched to a sheet metal tool for the air hammer and finished the job in about 30 seconds.

3- The nipple covers on the stock (non-brembo) calipers are perfect for closing off the brake lines during the swap.

4- Get new copper crush washers for the banjo bolts (if you swap the lines out at the same time, the washers usually come with the lines)

Good luck.
