Will these Brembos fit my Z well?
I was hoping to use this set of Brembos from a JDM Mitsubishi Evolution 7. I don't know if the rears will fit, they seem pretty big, but the fronts look like they might fit. I was hoping somebody might be able to help me get some Brembos cheap, without ending up with a poor performing Brembo system. I will provide all the measurements and numbers I found and performed on the calipers, hopefully someone can tell me if they would fit without too much hassle, and more importantly if they would fit and work right at the same time. Thanks in advance!
Fronts (Found 2 numbers on each caliper 20713701 & 20713601)
Approximate Measurements
Caliper Length 12"
Width 6 1/2"
Height 4 3/4"
From centers of each bolt Approx. 6 1/4"
Pads Length 5 3/16" Width 2 3/8"
Rears (2 Numbers on each caliper 1 207139 & 207140)
One caliper also had 2 O's in a circle, and the other had 2 9's in a circle as well.
Caliper Length 7"
Width 6"
Height 4"
From centers of each bolt 5 1/2"
Pads Length 3 1/16" Width 2"

Those probable won't work on your car for a lot of reasons:
1) they are designed for an EVO VII so the bracket will not bolt up to a Z
2) the offset will be designed for an EVO VII not a Z, where is the rotor, by the way???
3) piston sizing is set up for an EVO VII master cylinder, not a Z
4) the bracket is part of the caliper, so you cannot simply make a new bracket for the Z
5) trying to make these work on the Z will really negate your "fit without too much hassle" requirement
Wait for someone to replace their Z Brembos with something and buy those... no hassles there!
Hope that helps.

Allow me to be the first to suggest you sell those and with the money upgrade to a 13.1 inch Stoptech kit. All issues are addressed with Stoptech. All the stuff Audito mentioned are addressed as well.

I would try to obtain R33 or R34 GTR brakes. That should be a good upgrade from the stock system. You also may want to check out Porsche 996TT calipers; a few Z32 guys use those for their front brakes. They may work for the 350Z as well-
