Default ep3 brakes and turbo help

ok peeps i need to replace my front pads for my ep3-got brembos 4 pot fixed calipers upfront- does anybody know what front pads to use. i tried the 350z front pads but too long doesnt fit. so can anyone with this setup pls let me know i got 10% left.
next question is getting ready to drop a k24a4 in my ep3- will the greddy turbo kit have clearance issues since the k24 is taller than the k20. hope someone can clear the air thanks

As far as pads not sure... which brembo setup is it exactly?


As far as K24 you will need to redo your piping and downpipe as the K24 is taller yes.

when I did my swap I just used all the ep3 accessories and bought a new belt that was for the ep3. Everything lined up perfect on mine.
