Default What do I need to upgrade to Track Brembo Brakes?

I currently have an 03 Touring 350z with the factory brake (1 piston in front and rear). I would like to upgrade to the Track edition Brembo brake setup. Please advice me what I need to buy in order to do the upgrade.

+The 4 rotors (2 front, 2 rear) since they are different sizes.
+4 brake calipers (2 front, 2 rear)
+Brembo brake pads

Do I need to get:
4 Brembo caliper brackets or can I use my stock brackets?
4 Brembo brake lines or can I use my stock brake lines?
All the brembo nuts and bolts or can I use my stock nuts and bolts?

If I am missing anything else please let me know.

Thanks in advance

There's also a howto search for it. I believe in the diy section.

Just remember the rotors cost a lot more on those brakes so ask yourself how much you really track the car, otherwise you are paying a lot more for something you do not need. Normal street driving does not need the Brembo's. Heck I have tracked mine aggressively for 30 mins at a time & gotten by without them.

Been done dozen times. You need to move the front calliper.

pretty sure the movement that is done is achieved with the caliper alone; the design has the spacing difference built in as opposed to using brackets.

im pretty sure the whole thing is plug and play OP. same bolts and all. a local dealership will be able to tell you these things, just be sure to tell them you'll get the hardware (if needed) from them and they'll gladly help

All you need is Brembo rotors and calipers off a track model. You'll also need the rear bolts as they are a different size as the non-Brembo setup. Look in the DIY forum, there's a thread in there on how to do it.
