The "Look what i got TODAY!" Thread! Post them up guys!
Nice center cap whoring ^^ lol..jk.. looks nice. JDM swag approved.
El cheapo polished strut tower bar ( i put some better hardware on it so theres no wiggle room):
Akebono 14" front and rear BBK ftw.
Im not taking the rotors out of the boxes for pics, but DAYMN.. im going to need tp upgrade to 2 piece up front whenever i can afford it.. these are HEEEAVY.
Pics dont do justice to how huge these calipers are... this is a small lighter, but still.. they are not OEMish as one may think.
BTW, they are getting fully painted so the Infiniti means nada, they are simply a bit cheaper.

^ nice! I just installed oem brembos on my 03 base. Big big difference in every aspect. Was one pot all around now 4 front and 2 rear. Love it, are the akebonos bigger than the brembos? Never seen akebonos in person.
oh these are GIANT.
they are the upgrade from brembo ( called the sport brake package) for the 370z Nismo.
The rotors are just a hair under 14 inches front AND rear and the front rotors look to be over an inch thick.. .very big.
These front calipers are WIDE.. they are about the size of a football. Seriously.. they are giant haha.
Im laughing on how i ever thought going 500+ whp FI w the stock non brembo std brakes was a good idea.

the kit includes the required billet bracket for the front, but otherwise, yes, they are a direct fit.
And being that they are OEM, you can mention "370z nismo sport brakes package" to any wheel manufacturer to see if the clearance will be an issue. No cutting out templates or measuring.
Ill inc a link to his website, theres several options. Coz is a friend of mine, so i paid cash locally, asked for the best deal to keep price, so he mentioned the Infinitis are somehow a touch cheaper if i was planning on painting them etc.

they offer OEM rotors for even cheaper.
If you can afford the 2 piece front rotors, id reccomend to do so. They are far lighter.
