I already posted on MyG37 a while back but it got deleted. I will try a more subtle posting over there again today.

yes, us X guys can get this upgrade in rotors but keep in mind you must have the Akebono calipers first.

That, and make sure your 18s can accommodate the bigger brakes.

There's a template you can use to see if your wheels will clear the caliper.

Yup, this is definitely something you guys can use! Just keep in mind, as the other guys mentioned, you will need to upgrade to the Akebono calipers first, if you haven't already. Also, which 18" wheels are you planning on going with? If you are looking at the factory 18's, then you may need to run wheels spacers with them to accommodate the larger brakes, depending on which wheels you get. Just something to think about.

I was actually thinking of the M35/45 wheel 18/8 for a 245-45-18 set up... the 06-07 wheel, would that work??? I am running 15 mm spacers on my car now, even lowerd, it looks pretty decent!!

There is a pdf template available to check fitment.
IDK how accurate it is though.
...see the COZ Akebono kit vendor thread

Still working on Mike at Racing Brake to start on the matching rears. It sounds like there won't be enough of a weight savings to warrant making them in a 2-pc design, like the fronts, but a matching 1-pc design is definitely possible. I may start an interest thread and if we have enough people interested in the rears as well, then I should be able to get Mike to move forward.

Ok, so who's interested in getting a matching set of rear 2-pc rotors!?!? I talked to Mike and Warren at RacingBrake last week and they are ready to move forward with the rear rotors. They have a sign up list on their forum with GB pricing, so for any of you that are interested please go to the following web-site and sign up. http://forums.racingbrake.com/showthread.php?t=753
