Something interesting to note is that the non-Brembo front caliper for the new Z is the SAME, not similar, but the SAME as the new Altima. The only difference between the two are rotor and pad. IIRC, the Z's rotor has a slightly greater circumference and slightly greater thickness, with a more aggressive pad.
Either way, it's awesome to know that we have 2 sources for newer, bigger brakes.

The only bad aspect about these swaps is mystery surrounding lines.. that's why I recommended to lavotski to get the lines, as well.
