Great kit! Highly recommended. Installed it this weekend. Damn, those stock rotors were hard to get off! Beat the crap out of them to get them loose.

Here are the pics!

Nissan released pics of their 40th ann. 370z and it has red sport brakes. Do you know if we will be able to buy those aftermarket as well?

Just use some caliper, or high heat, paint. My bet would be that any special edition brakes from Nissan are going to be EXTEMELY expensive. You're probably better off buying a regular set, and just painting them red.

Hello All, I am a new member on this forum, I am from CZOT, Capitol Z of Texas. I had been researching the My350Z forum about these Akebono brakes. I do have one question, I saw there may be tests to see how these stack up versus Brembo, AP, etc. Has any testing been done? Results? Opinions from users of the Akebono's? Thanks!

Might a dumb question, but can the front 4-piston fit in the rear with/without modification?
If I were to buy the Infiniti bbk, does it come with all the stuff I need to fit in my 08 Z?
Thanks.

No, the fronts will not fit on the rear, you will require modification, plus wider custom rotors. If you buy the kit, that would include everything you need to install it.

Nothing yet, going to wait on Stoptech to come out with their version, ETA is going to be around the beginning of 2010. If anything comes up sooner, I will let you guys know.
