i need opinions on USED brembo or nissan sport CALIPERS !

Honestly it'd be expensive even used brembos. You're factoring in shipping, pads, line fluid for the akebonos on Z1 and saying it's 3k. Fair, but if you picked up used brembos, they'd be at least 3k for a full set, and then you still have to pay for shipping on those, plus fluid plus pads and then as you indicated, new rotors. The new akebonos will more likely always be cheaper than a brembo kit, even if it's used.

It really comes down to what you want out of your car (DD vs. tracking).

I read in another thread you started that you totaled your 350 on black ice and I noticed you live in Canada (anyone here DRIVE there Z in WINTER?). If you're going for new brakes to avoid another accident as opposed to performance I'd say go with the cheaper option (akebonos) and more importantly, get a good set of winter tires if you haven't already. But honestly if you're worried about another accident it's more to do with driving than anything else, and honestly a set of bigger brakes won't do too much.


edit: last used brembo kit I've seen on the370z, asking was $5350
***One Of A Kind*** 2009 Nissan GTR Brembo BBK

The op has done his research so and is complaining about cost sooo...

I'm going out on a limb and guess this is more of a cool factor issue than anything else.

This will increase your performance on your current brakes:
Z1 370Z / G37 Brake Upgrade Package (Non-Sport Models)

this will make you look the part:

BLUE Aluminum Endless Brake Caliper Cover Kit 2pcs | eBay

You can spend around $600 and improve the brakes you have and another few $$ on fake covers or can totally fake it and ONLY get covers.

Good luck

Yeah sounds about right. Considering it was only brembo and not even something a little cheaper like AP or Stoptech.
