Default I think I bought the wrong pads and rotors. Help Please

So I purchased a full set of hawk pads and rotors today. Front and Rear.

I have a 2004 350z roadster. I got a deal on the brakes and assumed that all non-brembos were the same for all years. It looks like the part numbers are not matching up for my front pads or rotors but are matching for the rear.


Will 06+ front non brembo pads/rotors fit my 04? Will 2006 rear pads/rotors fit my 2004?

Thanks for your help.

12inch rear rotors are what i'm measuring for these 2006 parts. Any clue if thats the proper size for the 2004? Maybe I can at least make half of this stuff work for me.

If not I have brand new front/rear Hawk pads/rotors for sale.

Might be a good time to find a good used set of the later (larger) front calipers and upgrade the whole system.

The answer is NO. Nissan made a change with the '06 brakes and made the calipers and rotors bigger. So as dcains says, this might be an opportune time to upgrade your brakes by going to the '06 spec parts.

Rear pads are the same, but the front pads are not, and the rotors are not interchangeable

I was thinking about looking for the newer calipers to upgrade the whole system. Any good refurbished sites out there?
