As far as driving, I love the way they perform for the most part.
I do feel like the pedal travel needed to really get the brakes grabbing is longer than I think is ususal.
is the master cylinder larger in the g37?

^ Ouch.

The one thing i dislike about this kit is the damn 1 peice blank rotors it comes with. Upgrade to a 2 peice and your looking at another 14-15 hundred.

You could get a set without the rotors from one of the vendors here, and just get the 2-piece aftermarkets instead. I think overall it's still cheaper than any other aftermarket BBK. Especially considering a full set of OEM used Brembos still go for around $1200, I think these are a steal.

Could you not just buy the calipers from the dealer and then just buy your own 2 piece rotors. I do believe you can get the adapters separately aswell no?

No one makes the adapters, that I know of, except CZP and some company in Japan that has them delivered only on special order.

OR


this guy made his own:

I know there is a company in Japan that makes them too, maybe directly thought Nissan??? I'm not sure. I was trying to find this ebay listing that I saw yesterday for you, which was basically the CZP upgrade kit, but it included brackets made by a different company.

Couldnt you just buy the whole kit (lines/calipers/adaptors/pads) - the rotors? I wonder if a vendor could do that....hmmm.

The adapter brackets cost as much as the pair of front calipers. At least if you subtract out the price of the brake hardware from the kits, the brackets end up being nearly half the cost.

My kit comes in tonight via UPS. I will test fit and share some pix (not to thread-jack) and also give my input once I have them on and pads bedded.
