03 G35 Sedan Brake Upgrade

[macumber]

Just reshod my 03 sedan with 20" wheels and my OEM brakes are all I can see when I look at it. Looked at calipers, rotors and pads but can't see anything that doesn't cost way too much. Any thoughts, suggestions, direct experience would be great ?

Whats up Mark!

There are a few companies making a BBK. AP Racing and Stop Tech are two of the major ones. Problem is, you are going to spend at least 4k grand to upgrade front and rear. My suggestion is to find a used set of OEM Brembos from a Coupe or 350z. You can also upgrade to the 05+ non brembo sedan. Both provide almost 1" more in diameter and thicker by .2-.3". The brembo caliper would look awfully nice behind those 20's.

I agree they would look killer and those were the first I looked at. I didn't think about used. Where would you look for used calipers at? I checked out eBay motors but didn't know if you had another place that might have some inventory or be less picked through?
