How long did the install take you guys? I can handle most DIY's but it would need to be done within a day. Thanks!

I'd never really worked on a car and i had to install spacers so it took me a good 12 hours. I would say do it with a strong friend and a breaker bar or if you had an impact wrench you could probably knock it out in 6 hours for sure. Just lay everything out and a have a good plan of attack.

Easily done in a day. If everything is set up, 4-5 hours. I have an FX so no shields to cut nor brackets to install, but I did the fronts in a little over 1 hour. I used a cheap electric impact gun since getting a breaker bar into the wheel well is troublesome.

Just do the fronts first, then rears. That way if it runs long you can just drive it around until you have time to finish.

NO the Akebono BBK will not work with the factory rotors. You will need to get the larger rotors.

Here is the kit---> http://www.z1motorsports.com/350_g35...oducts_id=4626

Well I've had them on for almost two years. Absolutely no issues and they seemed like quality parts for a 1/3 of the price as some. Id recommend them no problem!!

Awesome ordered brackets last night so this conversion will be started soon. I called in to get prices on rotors and we need them off a 370z or g37s I'm assuming rwd option but it's giving me a L and R at the end of part number to tell me which side. Are they directional rotors when we do this mod?
