SUBARUS USE NISSAN BRAKES, SO INSTEAD OF FINDING A NISSAN 300ZX YOU CAN ALSO LOOK FOR A SUBARU IMPREZA

A quick glance at the Brembo cross listings and a few brake pad lists shows the rotors are not the same on any of these models. None of the pads are the same fitment either. Which Impreza and 300ZX models were you looking at?

the impreza wrx sti 96-98 i know for a fact use the same 30mm calipers from a 300zx. These cars are only available in japan, but are being imported alot. You can also pick up aftermarket calipers

That would be very cool if that's correct. Do you have any links where we could check this out? It would be nice to see some specs or part numbers to see if the pads and rotors interchange as well:yesnod
