stillen has there own brand and ap racing on there website those are the only direct bolt ons.

we got 2.5s and you unless your slowing down from 100+ often you dont need new calibers think about some rotors and better pads price difference is astronomical

If you have 20"s you can also do the Akebono kit from the G37, as it works as a direct bolt on as well.

Hah yeah true true thats what iI hearing. I might get the front kit but not the back. for maybe the price but i want a nice big calliper. If i can find a generic Bigger calliper then what i have i would do that and powder-coat it etc. and get inexpensive rotors and pads

If you're interested in the Akebono's, I found a posting in a G35 forum that has the Akebono BBK for the G's for $1620. It includes front and rear calipers, pads, and Stoptech rotors.

It appears as if they're in stock at http://www.conceptzperformance...5.184

For some reason i cant see your full post but it comes out on my email( sends me an email when i get a post) what does IMHO mean?

& yeah i definitely want to get nice rotors and pads not just the calipers. I feel that the calipers complete the look and feel.

I have no idea if they'll fit the coupes but they are made for the G. They have a bunch of different packages available depending on whether you want just front, rear, rotors or no rotors, oem rotors or stoptech rotors. So you can spend pretty much as little or as much as you want depending on what options you get.

Anyone know if the G brakes fit our cars?

Only ones I have heard of fitting our cars. I have the Stillen Rotors, but I wonder if the Caliper will just work with them. Or would I need the whole kit?

$216 for fronts slotted/cross in zinc plated

Thinking about those.

Not sure about pads.

Is the fluid & upgraded brake lines overkill?

Will the AP stillen fit the 2.5 on, of course, bigger wheels?
