Taryon--
Just take the caliper to a hardware store and match it up w thread pitch etc. just make sure the length is the same etc. I remember having to get some for the BRembo and advanced auto had some that were actually stronger grade than oem.

actually unless you drive a 370z/g37 the adapter brackets should come with the bolts you need

Thanks for all the replies! I think I've got it sorted.
On other news the 14 and 13.8 inch rotors are bloody heavy

i replied to your other post. i cut down the oem banjo bolt with a cutoff wheel. just cut off a portion of the threaded part and clean it real good. i did a couple small cuts and test fit to make sure i made it short enough. worked out great and saved me a couple bucks.

Thanks for the reply man. Your akebonos look great, I'd love to powdercoat my one red as well one day.

Coz at CZP supplied me with some cheap banjo bolts and so I got those before I heard about cutting the oem ones

Newly installed 370z akebono brakes! With DBA4000 rotors, EBC Yellowstuff pads, and CZP brackets. Had to shave a couple of mils off the caliper to make it fit

I've had my car for about 2 years now, got sick of looking at base model brakes.
Picked up a used set of Akebono's and paired them with AMS slotted rotors.
Powdercoating chipped from previous owner, I'll probably try to touch them up a bit to make it less noticeable. (in my haste to get them on during a rainy day, the rear rotors got put on backwards, will address that when I get around to it)
