lets just say you cant beat my price since mike is a good friend. however he normally charges $350 for these and bbk setups. $250 for regular g35 brakes. he will even do all the install work if you live near atlanta for $200. you can double check prices with him.

Nice work. I live in NC but I sure have seen a lot of those cars that were in the shop before. Gotta get out to one of the ATL meets!

Man those are some awesome pictures! So Forged is up in ATL? That place looks SUPER packed! Like it would take forever to have them put in a turbo system!

Those black rims with the blue stripe make me want to put a red stripe on my stock 18" when I do them gloss black! They don't have a lip (like yours) so I wasn't sure what a rim stripe would look like, but that stuff is hot!

How close are the breaks to the color of your car? I have an athens blue g35 and im really considering getting my stock break calipers powdercoated the same color as my car...

seeing as hes done over 800 sets of brakes in the last 3-4 years, he probably has.

yup forged performance is easily the best shop on the east coast for our cars. do the stripe. i was uneasy at first but everyone loves it.

he was able to get them about a 95% match. you only really notice when you're up close in the sun. in pics, from further away and at night - the difference is hardly noticeable.
