Default dual pistons from single pistons

I found a set of dual piston G35 brakes and was wondering if this would be a good upgrade for a 2003 Z with STD brakes. I would think the dual is better than the single. Let me know what you guys think.

im guessing you already know about everything involved in putting them on right? As for difference, there should be a noticable decrease in fade and big increase in visual appeal.

The swap is pretty straight forward, just cut your OEM dust shield, get Z/G brembo rotors, mount calipers with some good pads, replace lines and go.

My only suggestion is that you'll want to get a front and rear set to be properly balanced, so I wouldnt go slapping them on in a hurry if its just the front calipers you are getting.

also to be honest, if you're just looking to improve your braking, you'd be surprised at what quality pads, fluids, lines and rotors will do for the stock system.

To be honest, I don't know what is involved in putting them on, if you could tell me I would appreciate it. I autox and track my car, so I am running different rotors, pads and lines already. Its time for new pads and rotors and just came across a set of front 06 calipers. Can you tell me what is needed for install. I figured since I am replacing pads and rotors to upgrade to these, if its not too much hassle. Thanks again for the help.

But is there a bracket I need? I found the calipers only for $200

You need the mounting bracket, caliper , pads and rotors to do the swap for the front , and just the bracket and rotor for the rear.
