Default aftermarket brake question

I currently have a g35 with the gold factory brembo set up and i am really going to miss that on the 370z. My question is i know these aftermarket kits are extremely expensive. would i be able to just purchase the calipers and adapt them to the factory set up? given of course that they will clear?

Thanks

I cannot say with 100% confidence whether or not they will fit with minimal issues; but from previous experience I can say that it is possible. I have witnessed S2000's with NSX brake caliper conversions.

Just my two cents.

Hmm so is there any decent looking aftermarket calipers compatible with my non-sport rotors? Or do I have to put whole new rotors + lines + etc just for some calipers?

Brembo has a caliper conversion kit! Lou over at Amplified has them for sale or you can contact Sharif over at Forged Performance and he can hook you up!
