Cadillac CTS-V brembo in 06 350z
I was wondering if i could upgrade the brakes(non brembo) of my 06 350z to these brembo brakes...
These brakes are from an 06 CTS-V. Both front and rear calipers are 4 piston.
I am worried about the fact that, since they use 14" rotars and has 4 pistons in the rear calipers, would it effect the handling of the car at high speeds??
Comments are highly appreciated, please let me know asap!!!

there are quite a few factors involved in the relationship of brake components.
Piston diameter in the calipers, piston diameter in the master cylinder, brake pedal length (it effects the amount of effort required), proportioning valve settings.
You would probably be able to get them to work, since mechanically the parts work in the same manner. Whether or not you would get acceptable results is another question.

^ about everything I was about to type.
if you transfer over the whole shebang and get a brake valve proportiner (found in race cars) you could get it to work.
but then you have to figure out if the pedal travel is the same, then modify your pedal assembly, etc, etc, etc, etc,
NOT A GOOD IDEA. I've thought about it as well. the upgrade kits are designed to be within ratio of the stock kit in terms of the piston size and f/r balance and to work with the master cylinder.
you will get terrible pedal feel, longer stopping distances, possible wheel lockup, etc.
