I did the front setup on my sedan... i got it from riverside infiniti also.. but i would recommend g35parts.com, they're pricing is alot better...i believe front and back is like 1400 or 1500... i am yet to do the rear as the oems haven't worn out yet.

3ugene good work reading!I think riverside will take an offer of $1600, but im not sure as I havent bought them.

You need 19"s or bigger for them to fit, and some offsets wont work, but they def bolt on right!

I think I sold surmanm on getting these

For coupe owners: If they fit the sedan, they will fit the coupe. This will be a nice upgrade for street use and lightly track use. The price isn't bad for OEM but they won't compete with aftermarket brake components. I say go for it, they will look sexy as hell behind your wheels.

Keep in mind, OEM BBKs and aftermarket BBKs (even if they're the same brand) are DIFFERENT, like Loop said, but either way, for the A/c, it's an upgrade .

You can get drilled/slotted rotors for em on ebay.

IDK about the 350z brakes, but they cost more loot anyways... if you posted them just because of the color and the "nissan" on them, I would DEF have them powdercoated before I put them on the AC, some sort of nice 2 stage paint.



BBK BALLIN!

actually for track use and streetability get the calipers from the dealer... get some nice cross drilled and/or slotted rotors with the (oem fitment) stainless steel lines along with some hawk hp+'s for front and back and they'll perform. My cousin tracks his g37s with that setup with zero fade under all types of abuse and imagine the g37s is about 500 - 600 lbs heavier than our cars... you'll still save over having to spend for an ap racing kit with track approved stopping power.

check with tirerack or ebay... I was originally going to buy a g37s spare donut for a temporary spare. That thing is like 400+ dollars when i had inquired about it. I ended up getting a cheap 19" wheel on tirerack that fits the g37s fitment guide with a goodyear eagle rsa 245/40/19 (fits in the spare tire cavity in the sedan, not sure about the coupe unless it has a full size spare like the sedan). Tire and wheel, speed balanced and shipped was like 200 dollars. Check ebay they have these guys that sell those cheap 19 inch wheel sets and get some decent used tires or something and you have a good winter set. Also if you use the G37s as a filter for finding wheels keep in mind the offset as they may offer some larger offset wheels due to its rear wheel drive platform
