I finally got the 370Z 40th Anniversary BBK installed today. I opted for Stop Tech rotors and Hawk pads instead of the OEM components. They definitely have more bite, but I could also feel the extra weight. 2-piece rotors will definitely be on my wish list. Here are before and after pics:

Who has them? I searched and came up empty.

Looks great.

Thanks. For the rear calipers, yes. For the front you'll need adapters.

Yes, the front and rear dust shields had to be cut. The calipers aren't forged.

Preview of my setup. I'm still waiting on the front custom brackets to arrive, should be in 3-4 weeks. Fronts are going to be 6 piston brembos for the G37/370z. Rears are powdercoated red. I had used G2 red paint previously on the rear calipers, but since everything was apart, I decided to get them stripped and professionally powdercoated. Then rebuilt them with stoptech seals. Also using titanium bleed bolts (threw those on the stove to turn them blue). I know that the temperature sticker isn't on an ideal place for the rears, but that was the only relatively flat surface that I could find.

I'm going with a different sized rotor for my setup (already have a pair of 2 piece floating rotors that I've been using). Also, I don't think Brembo will sell the brackets by themselves.

Brackets arrived early. I guess the machine shop isn't that busy these days.
