Akebono brakes fit 2007 G35S Sedan

Hey good news my Akebono big brake kit fits my stock G35S rims with 15mm spacers just barely. You can only fit a dime between the caliper and the spoke of the wheel. They look great, will add pictures tonight. I purchased the brake pros slotted rotors and they are heavy approx 24lbs front and 18lbs rear. The calipers front approx 9lbs and the rears 5lbs. The PADS front 2.5lbs a piece I purchased the Mu Bu Force (upgrade) bought them (the whole kit) from infiniti parts Scottsdale (everything G35). The only thing is the rear wheel "dust plates" have a lip on them and the lip needs to be cut off. The new rotors are to big for them. So you have 2 choices cut the lip off or order new plates. The new plates are 200 for the pair and it will cost an additional 400-500 dollars labor, I had mine cut off. Expect to pay between 400-600 dollars to have the bbk put on. I also had stillen sway bars put on the same time. My cost was about in the middle of the figure above. It will take approx 4-6 hrs at a shop to have them do this. The whole package including installation cost me about $2700. Well worth it a new set of just front high end kit will cost about 3K.

Looks like it does, with 15mm spacers.

Great job finding out for the rest of us, Shawn! Looking forward to the pics

Oh man. I wasn't buying the BBK because I thought it wasn't going to fit. Nice I'll order my kit now. Thank you very much. 

If you do call everything G35 for the BBK or whatever else talk to Justin, he helped a lot and was a huge help in deciding what I needed, thanks Justin!
