Akebono BBK off FX

My understanding is that the FX has the same setup as the G37s. All I need are the calipers/pads/rotors. The components of the hardware kit, brake pins and clips would be already assembled with the calipers. Dust shields are optional. Is that all correct to do a straight swap? Do I also need the brake lines and banjo bolts?

A quick peek at infiniti.com showed only the FX50 has the 4 piston/2 piston 14" brakes.

The FX35 has the smaller 13/12" setup.

If you're getting the parts new from the dealership or elsewhere, the caliper only comes with... the calipers. The pins, clips and hardware kit are sold separately.

You will also need the banjo bolts. The OEM one, assuming you have a 2nd Gen G, is too long (or short, can't remember).

Clarification. I'm pulling the brakes off a FX50. So I just want to make sure I don't miss anything. Thanks guys.

FYI, rear rotors and backing plates are different. The overall diameter is the same but the ebrake drum is larger on the FX50.

Just get all the bolts and pins and everything from the calipers so you don't worry about missing anything later.
