Default Brake rotors and pads

Are 06/07 brake rotors and pads compatible with a 2003 model?

Planning to order Stoptech rotors and pads for my 2009 Roadster. Since I bought it used I'm not sure what I have now. I know for sure its not a BBK but I have rough-textured, silver aluminum calipers. Are these the performance brakes?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Unless your brakes look like these...



...you have standard brakes.

To my knowledge, no ZRs came with Brembos (above) except maybe Grand Touring if that was even available on '09 ZR. But good to check as PO may have upgraded.

These are standard brakes:


Both images taken from my350z.com, if you own these and want them taken down, say so.

Thanks for the info! I guess my confusion stems from the brake ordering process. After selecting "non Brembo" brakes, I then have to choose between "aluminum caliper performance" or "cast iron caliper

standard" brakes.

I will try to attach a couple quick pics. Sorry for the poor quality and dirty wheels.

"Non-Brembo" will suffice for all models Z33 BUT 2009. Where the confusion PROBABLY lay is that in 2009, the cutover to the Z34 occurred and technically the 350z "no longer existed" but the ZR. However, the 370Z model had the Sport package (and Nismo) brake option (Akebono 4 piston F/2 piston rear)- which are/were aluminum. But when ordering for 350Z/Z33, "non-Brembo/cast iron" should work for you.

FYI - those are Infiniti wheels with a slightly different offset then standard Z wheels.
