Default Which brake pad replacement?

i bought my 2004 350z enthusiast model and it came with an aftermarket Brembo big brake 4 piston kit (gran turismo i believe??) well its time for pad replacements and im just wondering if the pads are identicle to the ones that come standard in the Track model 350z's. Could somebody refer me to a part # or a site that sells replacements? I've done searches and im seeing different part numbers for the same items which confused me. I've been looking into the hawk HPS brake pads as replacement. Could someone help point me in the right direction, thanks

well considering that no one here has seen your brake calipers....or your pads....this might be difficult to answer. Post, at the least a pic of the front and rear calipers...might be best to post measurements of the pads just to make sure.

might not be helpful but theres a picture. Brembo offers 2 main big brake kits for the Z that can be purchased: the 6 piston and the 4 piston. I have the 4 piston and the ones that come with the Track models standard are also 4 piston. So i was wondering if they have the same replacement pad size/dimensions. And im just referring to the fronts brakes. I have non-brembo OEM's in the rears.

perhaps directly from BREMBO?

here's a link

if you know what size rotor the Gran Turismo Kit is, a simple call to TireRack might help, they sell that kit fairly regularly-

if you can find out what part # your caliper is, I can give you the range of pads that fit

2nd Z1, thats what I was going to suggest, get the part number from the caliper (you only need it from one of them). Its stamped on the back of the caliper. then companies like Z1 or even others like potorfield, hawk etc can simply tell you what works.
