The listing is incorrect. The applications list the Track edition, but the description says standard brakes. So, they are not for the 350Z with Brembo brakes.

No, the Track only had Brembos. I only said Brembos because some listings say "For standard brakes" or "For Brembo equipped models".

The listing is wrong and I wouldnt waste money on noname eBay rotors. These are brakes. The only thing that will safely stop your 3500lb car. If you don't want to spend the money on quality rotors, don't do it at all.

Im sorry if that is harsh, but no one should ever skimp on brake parts.

SS lines are always recommended (ad long as they are quality ones and not cheap ebay ones)

I recommend them if your going to do the BBK swap. I noticed that my pedal got softer when I went from single piston to 4 pistons.

Nice! I'm sure Morgan and I are glad to hear that they fit. He's gonna be getting his in the spring.

Your going from 2 pistons to 4 and the rotor size is larger. I hate having to test fit every wheel on my car before I buy them. So I can't do any wheel shipping either since I'll never know if it fits. There are general guidelines but it varies with each wheel. Bit of a PITA but I'm running my current wheels with spacers and I found a set that clears without spacers for the summer.

If it fits a 3G TL-S or 3G 6MT TL, it'll clear the RL calipers. Its not the best guideline, but its something.

Yea, I'm not going to mess up the lettering or the finish of the calipers. And I don't even know how much I can shave before I start weaking the calipers or nick into the pistons. I rather get a different set of wheels, many people have no problems wheel shopping anyways.
