Yes, all 1st Gens (03-06 sedan, 03-07 coupe) have the same setup, so the bracket is needed for install. Still a pretty good price considering if you price the individual parts from a Nissan/Infiniti parts website, you'll be at about $1000 w/o the brackets.

Coz@Czp is selling the front kit w/ bracket for $1195 (not including shipping):

again, a pretty good deal. GLWS

Brembos are also lighter.
who cares about stopping to 0?
people dont buy bbk just to stop faster at a red light..
its about how these perform better in tracks and sprited driving.
Also handles heat much better than oem brembo rotors. i know you love your oem brembo, but you are wrong.

Put the Akebonos on a V35 and they will probably stop at about 107ft.

They are also bigger and look better because of that.
BBKs are not to improve stopping distances but more so for brake fade.

I doubt they'll stop any faster.

Check my post again.... I never said they were better... I just wanted you to clarify how they were "far superior".


Yes I do enjoy having my brembos but I also know the Akebonos are great brakes as well.

The fact that they have bigger rotors and they're heavier are not posisitives if you are thinking about track perfromance. smaller rotors allow for smaller wheels-resulting in less weight, not only from saving weight on the rotor but the rim as well, but im sure you know this.



Sorry OP... BUmp and GLWS.
