Do S brake pads fit our JCW?

Or do we have our own fitment of pads specific to the JCW?

I believe they're a different fitment. Someone in another thread had mentioned the possibility that pads from some specific year of 350Z are within a few mm of fitting properly. I don't think I'm brave enough to try it though.

From what I'm seeing, most major pad manufacturers are accommodating our low production car anyway. I need some high temp pads for, erm, something.

No, they don't...the front is made by like three different vendors other than OEM. The rear may be the same but there are others that know better than I. Best bet, drop Dustin a note at:

No they are not the same.

Fortunately, because they are Brembos, there are a number of manufacturers who have brake pads that fit.

Try carbotech pads. They are great! Look in Tire Rack, they might have other ones that fit.
