Why are you thinking about Brembos when you just posted a thread saying that your car pretty much needs a new/reconditioned engine? Those Brembos are sure gonna look cool on a car that sits in you driveway without an engine.

To answer your question, no. Do some searching in the "Brakes and Suspension'' forum.

Brembo F rotors = 12.76" x 1.181"
nonBrem F rotor = 11.65" x 0.945"

Brembo R rotors = 13.07" x 0.87"
nonBrem R rotor = 11.50" x 0.63"

My educated guess is that they won't work.

think you meant 12.07"? i dont think the rear rotors would be larger than fronts

I checked the 2003, 2004 and 2005 factory service manuals and they all list it as 13.07".

Starting in 2006, the rears get smaller at 12.68".

Buy rotors for a Brembo equipped Z.

No, they are too small. If you installed the Brembo calipers the pads wouldn't be placed over the center of the rotor surface, they would hang off the outside edge some. Also, the difference in thickness of the rotors may cause problems with the amount of piston travel required to get the pads on the surface. The initial thickness of the non-brembos is less than the min allowed thickness of the brembos.

Don't do it - it's not worth risking problems. For $400 you can buy some brembo replacement rotors.
