Default Evo calipers (red) swap with stock brembos?

i was looking closelly at the evolution brembos, they are exactlly the same size, i know there are different mounts for their cars but would it be possible just to swap the calipers themselfs? i want the red ones! i know my spelling needs work, get over it =)

Different Caliper up front. I've physically held them up and compared. Rears are the same, but I can't speak on the piston size.

Even if you build the custom bracket, say goodbye to your bias...

You can run a BBK with no rear brakes at all. The question is, is it a good idea?

In your situation, unless you're getting the rears for free (or close) I would suggest waiting for someone to show up with a 350z-specific brembo rear setup and buy a Brembo GT front kit. Bias will still be intact and you won't have to manufacture anything crazy.

PM me with any other questions.

can you swap the front calipers to the rear? would work worse than stock would, and would require a ton of modifications
