You need the brackets for 1st Gen G35's. Going for about $300-$400.

well, you know from the thread title i thought it was full front kit including the bracket for coupes :lol:
but sedan guys, this is direct bolt on.
front bbk setup which is far superior than stock brembo setup for 450?
dman i wish people woudl sell the bracket for around $100, and not inflate the price of some metal pieces to $400 ...

please clarify how they are better...

70-0 V36 w/ akebonos are 110 ft
70-0 V35 w/ Brembos are 109 ft


Brembos are also lighter.

Brembos are also lighter.
You're comparing different brakes on different cars. Stopping ability on the V36 is going to differ from the lighter V35.

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

They are also bigger and look better because of that.
