I was going to get the kit for my birthday. It was either this or a two day Skip Barber driving school. Skip won

It should. Someone actually test fitted some G35 sport 18" rims on a G37 and the rims actually cleared but with only a tiny amt of space. So, the person who tried it said it wouldn't clear because they were too worried about the clearance.

My understanding is, as long as there is some clearance - maybe like 3mm or so, that's all that's needed. Afterall, if the rim flexes more than 3mm so that it actually hits the calipers, there are more serious issues at play.

Don't you have the TE37s? I'm thinking those should clear with no issues.

How is the stopping power with these compared to the OEM setup found on the Sport 07+ Sedans? Is it even noticeable? Im assuming this is more of a cosmetic mod than anything else.

Be prepared to buy a G37S spare wheel assembly. The stock 17" one will NOT clear the Akebono kit. If you don't wanna buy get one, you may as well take the spare outta your trunk.

Hey, where did you get the coilover? I maybe interested...

Are they setup for any kinda racing or just comfort/look only?

I am down for Making the a custom Adapter bracket For the 1st gen set up.I can handle these no prob.

Hit me up and let me know what the KILLER DEAL is on calipers alone.

Thank you

Actually, it is a DRASTIC difference, not simply cosmetic.
the larger pistons offer both better response and performance as well as much better pad life overall since the setup allows for a more even pad wear.

you have a pm!

I would LOVE to have someone make an adapter for these calipers, I'd love to have an upgrade kit out there that saves tons compared to the brembos.

besides, these are bigger and better IMO as well...

Let's see what we can do, the demand is surely out there!
