ck our DIY section or ck with Excelerate, he has the kit for the parts you need in order to do it
larger rotors and caliper width mean different steering arms to clear them

So it was EPIC the big brakes that come on the 04 TLs wont fit on a 03 TLs. it would be way to much work to make it work.

You can put the RL 4 piston calipers on our cars. There is a Bracket made to bolt them on.

Fastbrakes makes a 12.6" BBK with Wilwood 4 piston calipers that is reasonably priced and will cost less than the TL Brembo setup:

You NEED the custom made brackets, 350z rotors and 3rd gen rims or aftermarket rims to clear them.
