Hey I'm new to the forum and I just wanted to start out with a question I have had. So I have an 08 enthusiast Z and it didn't come with the brembo brake system naturally. So I was wondering what exactly I would have to do to get the same system that is on the GT 08 version. Same color and everything. I was looking into this:

But I don't like the choice in caliper colors.

Am I missing something? you want a brembo BBK. So buy one and have it installed. What's the problem? ![](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/icon43.gif)
If you dont like the colors have them painted or go with another brand.

That's a BREMBO BIG BRAKE KIT (Grand Turismo)..not the stock Brembo set up on the Grand Touring. Is that what you're talking about? Huge difference in price. You can get take offs if you shop around in the market place here...or on the G35 forums. I understand Brembos are interchangeable for all years on the 350Z/G35.

And yes, you can find oem Brembo's on here or on eBay. Or you can pay full retail price at your dealership.

If you want a simple upgrade, then get Stoptech Slotted Cryo rotors, SS brake lines and Stoptech Performance Pads. All this will cost you $600. PM me and I'll give you vendors. The next step up would be a Stoptech Big Brake on the Front only...Cryo slotted rotors on the back. That's what I have now.
Yes, you can convert to Brembo all around for around $1000 (used), but you're not going to gain that much as far as performance..given you have an 08 set up already. I was considering Brembo conversion and went with set up I just mentioned.

Brembo's aren't that much better than what you have on your 08 now..seriously. The 08 brakes were updated in 06 and are a big improvement over previous years. Ask yourself>>> what are you looking for here?

1. I like them
2. Good stopping power and I have tested his 350 compared to mine
3. The looks are a lot better than mine.
4. Planning on upgrading so I'm not to worried about price difference in the long run.
Anyways thanks for the replies.

Don't get the factory Brembos. Seriously. I have them and the only purpose they serve is that I get to say "Yeah, I've got the Brembos". lol. Ronn1 gave the best option if you're going to UPGRADE your brakes. If you just want Brembos, that's something different. I made sure the car I bought had them, but I don't use them...I mean, obviously I brake, but they literally serve no further purpose than the other options would. I don't drift any better because of them. It's really just cool to say I have them. If I didn't, I wouldn't waste the money.
If you're tracking your car, that's something different.
