Fitment
Identify the caliper first: factory Brembo fixed calipers and base sliding calipers use different pad shapes, rotor dimensions, and hardware. Trim names are not sufficient after swaps. Excludes the Z33-0009 Akebono conversion and excludes caliper conversion instructions.
Aftermarket options
OEM-style, street-performance, and track compounds are valid only when matched to the installed caliper and intended temperature range. Replace rotors in axle pairs and confirm thickness/diameter before ordering.
Before you buy
Brake fitment follows the calipers and rotor dimensions actually on the car, not only VIN or trim. Converted cars require physical identification. Prices are per item or set exactly as stated; tax and shipping were not checked.
