Waiting for fluid to do full flush and then these will be on the car, this was a test fit to be sure the wheels cleared.

Thanks for the brackets to Civicdrivr!

Yup. Brackets that make it possible to attach the calipers.

Disks are EBC 13" '05 350Z Nismo.

11.4 vs 15.1 including the bracket RL vs stock.

OEM rotor is long gone but the Z rotor is bigger & wider so I am sure it is heavier

Huh? These are for the front.

If you want a BBK for the rear, you have to look at what rotors are available. Remember you have the parking brake, so that comes into play.

Then you need a bracket made.

to kinda expand on that; the parking brake is not part of the caliper, they are a sepearate drum inside of the rear rotor, so the parking brake is mainly what is holding back most of the BBK's out there from doing the back

but try Rotora, they have rear BBK's for our cars

the parking brake is like a drum and shoe on the back/inside of the rotor.
