Why Choose Bosch Blue Line?
- OE-focused replacement designed for dependable everyday braking.
- OE-style shims, slots and chamfers help control brake noise and vibration.
- Low-metallic friction material provides consistent street braking performance.
- Correct DB1696 profile for later non-Brembo Nissan 350Z front brakes.
Nissan 350Z non-Brembo models use two different front brake configurations. Earlier vehicles generally use 296mm front rotors, while vehicles built from October 2005 use larger 320mm rotors and a different caliper and brake-pad profile.
Confirm the vehicle build date, front rotor diameter and caliper type before ordering. Imported or modified vehicles should also have the existing pad shape compared with the DB1696 profile.
If you are unsure about fitment, contact Zend It Auto Parts with your model, year and engine before ordering.
