Default Stock Brembo Kit for sale?

I have a 03 Touring Z, I want to upgrade my brakes to maybe a Track brembo or 06 GT brembo's does anyone know where i can buy this kit? Im not hardcore, so I dont think I would need a 6 piston Kit nor a 14" rotors...even tho they will be nice to have. I dont think I have the money for them. Does anyone know where I should start this serach. Been looking through the Brakes/suspension but got no info. I like the stock Brembo set up, does anyone know where I can find a kit? or have the PART number? price will be great too, and pictures.

Thanks

OEM parts are expensive. Brembos are rediculously expensive. You can find the performance nissan OEM parts website here

http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...?siteid=214252

First of all, it's probably not worth it to buy USED brembo rotors or pads. So if you were to buy used, basically you'd just be buying used calipers and then buy replacement rotors / pads (and maybe SS lines). You will see that brembo parts are expensive as f0ck to replace, you would be better off buying a BBK most likely.

[edit]: Jason beat me to the punchline....................

Default Brembo

I found a set on a Track Mdl in a junker. The guy apparently hit something and damaged the front of the car but the brakes and Rays were intact. I did have to send one of the Rays to machine shop. Negotiating is key and try to go with someone they know. I went with the owners electrician and negotiated all for $1600 including Rays with tires and rotors. Also very important is the brake lines installation. I was left without brakes on the highway two times for improper installation. The calipers are a direct bolt on but the lines are not. The base has females and the Track has males. My solution and recomendation is to purchase sepparately a set of braided lines from Goodrige. Do not custom make them and do the same mistake I made. The guy did them too long and were rubbing on the rim, which obviously caused them to break.
