I see one site claiming that you need to use different banjo bolts for the akebono kit. I can't find any reference to it anywhere else except for that one reseller. Guys with the kit installed, any truth to this?

You will need the brake lines from a g37 or get some ss lines for it to mount up.

ok so im doing my bbk right now as we speak....i actually ran into a couple of problems...
first is..can't use the original brake lines on the M, the M brake lines have a banjo bolt fitting and the bbk has flared out nut..no one has mentioned this but it might also be cause my car is the all-wheel-drive. you don't have to get the brake lines from the dealer you can actually have them made...had to find this out the hard way...
Also i used 20mm ichiban v2 wheel spacers for the oem 19 sport rims...
the tires do stick out about 1inch..i am not sure about the 15mm spacers cause it looks like there's about 1/4 inch clearance from the calipers to the rim...I will stick with the oem 19's for now..but I am thinking about trading anyone with the stock 19 inch G37 sport rims..only cause you do not need spacers with those.
As for the rear install...you have to cut the dust shield as the rotor and caliper won't fit..the dust shield hugs around the rotor so I wized off the looping part
im going to give you guys the complete part numbers i used to do this bbk install.
