Cheaper way to upgrade to G37 Akebono Big Brakes

There a multiple ways to go about this, but for those wondering - this works. They are legit Akebonos and a nice upgrade in both performance and appearance. I did something similar when I upgraded brakes, but spec'd my own rotors and pads.
These also come powder coated red if you want, for a bit more $$$:
Front Calipers
Part Number: S6232
Rear Calipers
Part Number: S6182
Also, you don't need the brake lines if yours are in good shape. Just the longer banjo bolts and crush washers.
Banjo Bolts Specs:
M10 x 1.0 thread, 18mm under head length

revisiting this older thread. I know technically they shouldn't take the standard 2 pistons for the 4 pistons as a core but has anyone gotten away with it? Someone on youtube mentioned it worked for them and they took their 2 pistons. If so that an incredible deal. Hell even if i cant get the core charge back it still a really good deal lol

I recently did this upgrade with the remanufactured akebonos from Powerstop (comes powdercoated red) for the rears and from A1 Cardone in the fronts.
Total with ceramic street pads, slotted rotors, 4 calipers, F+R stoptech braided lines, and CZP adapter bracket was $1150 for those who are curious about cost.
