Default brake question

I plan to downsize from the Akebono sport brakes to the non-sport brakes on my 370z. It might sound stupid but I'm trying to fit a 15inch wheel on the back.

I'm wondering if the brake lines will line up all the same. I'm just buying 2 nonsport calipers and rotors and assumed it would line up. I just wanted to check!

(don't want to have the stuff and it not work because I didn't ask anyone) Do I need to buy anything else?

Thanks

Note the base brake lines do not use banjo bolts like the sport lines. But the routing of the lines should be similar enough.

Brake bias may be off slightly. A proportioning valve can be installed if you find the need to adjust it after install.
Rusty and sx moneypit like this.
