Thanks, I'm looking forward to getting them. As for being identical, I don't think they are identical per se. The JDM 4 Pots have raised cast-in lettering, where as the 06-07 lettering is just painted. I'm sure there's other differences too, but I haven't looked at either up close and personal.

Both are the same pad design, both use the same rebuild kit, both are heavy cast iron. I believe I've read that the brake pads and piston rebuild kits are the same as the Nissan 4 pots from the 300ZX and Skylines. All of them manufactured by Sumitomo.
