i have a base 03. i have a chance to buy a set of front oem brembos for $450.00 (front only) calipers are loaded all hardware included and they are factory orange. lines and rotors incl. should i jump on this or wait and buy a whole set.....otherwise i would have to buy these and get a rear set later on wich would probably hard to find.

 

I personally don't like buying something if it's not complete. In this case, a front brake upgrade, and nothing for the rear.

IMO, If I were only able to find the front half and not the rear, I'd just save for a bbk or the whole brembo setup, front and rear.

 

Unfortunately, the early Z33 rear brakes were problematic. They work fine for street use, but take them to the track and you'll use them up quickly. While the Brembo fronts are a decent price, it's the Brembo rears that make this package work so well.

 

thanks guys. i found these on craigslist. i actually just did all my rotors and pads but figured this was a good deal. ill just wait!

guy says he will let them go for $400.

 

i should of noted i do not track the car. its driven a few times a week at most. i actually just did a complete brake job including ss brake lines, and also wheel bearings, so these brembos would sit around until the next brake job giving me plenty of time to find rears....also my current ss lines should work just fine with the brembos. so all i would need is the rear calipers rotors, and rear bolts. i think $400 for all the parts pictured is a good deal.

 

I would agree

 

400 is a decent deal yes, but how often are rears sold independently?

imo not very often

 

Sounds like a good price of they are legit.

 

I see OEM brembo rears only on this forum often.
I wish I could pickup a set of fronts for that price..
You can also use the 06+ rears until you complete the set..almost same dia as oem brembos but single piston..

 

uummm dude......have you not seen dis??

Verify the brake lines before installing. Good luck.

 

brake lines? the ones he sold with the brembos i dont need. i have ss lines on my car already. so are u saying these are not off a 05 track?

 

No, the second link said they were Z32 lines. If you already have lines for your Z then you should be good

Don't forget to cut your brake dust shields!

 

ahh i see. yea calipers were bought today. real clean! hapy with the purchase. now just gotta score me some rears.
