I was about to order rotors and pads for my '04 Sedan. My choices are Brembo and Standard for pads. I looked at the calipers through my wheels and I didn't see Brembo, but I didn't see Not-Brembo either. How do I tell?

You have a sedan - No Brembo brakes on the sedan.

The Brembo calipers are gold, glossy, and only on the 6MT Coupe.

Tanks man! I figured it was something simple, and I didn't want to buy a couple hudred dollars worth of brake parts without making sure.

Well I just bought some rears and I have total of 800 wrapped up in the swap. You can get a full set for less than grand now because of the g37S brakes. You can bu those brand new with all necessary parts for 1800, this includes the bracket for the front for the 1st gen g35's.

Yea... I think next upgrade for me will be the Strut brace and the rear brace and a undercarriage brace. I will be on the look out for a used set of brembos and that Will be my x-mas present to myself .

And by summer I will be going FI with Vortech! at least that is my plans... I want to give this motor a year or so to break in all the way!

After that I might go with a double din Nav/GPS unit with a small set of subs and new speakers... Maybe 2 8's or something like that... My uncle would do all the stereo work... he has been doing it for 25 years and does really high end cars (cars that people spend 10-50k on the stereo)
