no no it's cool, put the Z32 calipers on your stock, obviously thinner and smaller in diameter rotors and let us know what happens lol

What he said, it doesn't matter that they are brembos or not. They don't make 4lug rotors for Z32 calipers.

Just to clarify everyone's response;

Here's what you have to do to your existing 4 lug set up; 1) take off your 4 lug rotors and throw them out or keep them and use them for target practice for your 357 magnum 2) go buy either 26mm or 30mm (depending what calipers you have) brembo blank rotors for the Z32 3) go to your local machine shop and have them drill the new rotors to 4x114 4) install rotors 5) buy some stainless braided brake lines 6) install calipers, pads, fluid, bleed and enjoy your new setup.
