Dont think so..
I doubt that ZX9 brakes are that much better than your ZX7 brakes anyway. ZX9's arent renouned for brilliant brakes.
Whats wrong with what you have?

Re: ZX7 v ZX9 brakes

We will find out if they fit, just bought a set...

Post up the result, also if you get them to fit, let us know whether they are an improvement or not. Although i guess over rooted brakes anything is probably an improvement

Re: ZX7 v ZX9 brakes
While I know both the ZX7R and ZX9R calipers are 6 piston jobbies, I have a funny feeling that the bolt spacing might be different??? I hope not, as you have now bought them!! 
If the ZX9 calipers don't fit, I have a sneaky suspicion that the GSXR1000K1 calipers might!

Re: ZX7 v ZX9 brakes
All model ZX7s & ZX9 (98 onwards) calipers are identical - 6 piston Tokicos with 90mm bolt spacings.

Re: ZX7 v ZX9 brakes
Yep, but the difference is in the mounts for the calipers on the fork legs.
