Anyone have the Akebono brake upgrade kit?
I'm wondering a couple things about it:
- performance difference? The stock brakes have terrible feel and IMO simply suck
- fitment of 18 wheels (esp stock, with spacers obviously).
If possible I'd like to (tape up the caliper and) test fit the front wheel of my G35S (and maybe the rear to see if the wider wheel makes a difference), and see if even with spacers if it will fit (there's no definitive yes/no, but lots of "maybe").
I'd prefer to not buy new wheels, but I have to do something about how poor the brakes are on this pig.

I did feel a big difference with the Project U brake pads. Much better bite than the stock pads. I have em up for sale now since I got the Brembo BBK now...
