Guess what - That's NOT an upgrade! The new G35 Coupe I saw at the dealer this week has HUGE Brembo calipers and rotors... I thought, "What kind of nut would start modifying a new car that's not even broken in good yet?"
Apparently I said it out loud, because the sales manager comes up and says, "That's STOCK." G35 sport package HAS the big-a$$ brakes.... MMMmmmm:D

Brembo
The Brembo on the MT 6 coupe are the factory (front only) upgrade. The kit I saw was even larger disks and incuded the rear rotors and calipers also. I'll edit in the URL if I find it again.
I think the factory are 332mm rotors and the upgrade are 355mm rotors. Haven't located the URL yet (it was just coincidental I saw it) and I think it was a pre-announcement. I can't imageine they would release the stock upgrade for $5K, but it did include SS lines, calipers, pads, etc.

Brian - This G had the big Brembo's on ALL FOURS! Maybe there's somthing we're missing. Pretty sure they wouldn't say it was factory if it wasn't (car still had the "shrink-wrap" on it).
Now we're curious....

Who knows?
Maybe this power stop kit is what I remember, but I thought they were Brembos and the kit was just over $5K. But the diameter is the big brake Brembo rotor diameter, so...?
Sure would be nice on a Q, but they do require 18" wheels.
