Hi Ladies and Gentlemen i would like to bring up the very first GB for our guys. Depending on how many people i can get to jump on this deal price will vary. So lets try to get at least 6+ members to jump on these.

Price will be anywhere from $700-$900 Calipers alone front and back! No rotors.(not sure about pads will clarify this weekend) You can purchase rotors from stillen.com

These can be either from a FX50 and or G37 i believe they are still the same.

I wanted to see how many people would be interested before i continue with this.

would there be a possibility of getting a front only?

Im sure we could make an exception. just list yourself in there. :D

That's what I was thinking too! I may be interested in buying the fronts only.

[FXPS]

thats fine guys just start the list so i can show it to Glendale Nissan and go on from there.

Im just not sure if its safe for you guys just to run the front only.

[Fire0nic3FX]

How come?

[soonster]

for the gen1, it also requires more parts for the REARS such as the rear knuckles and turbocad6's balljoint adapter. fronts are direct bolt-on.

great deal if it all comes together. i'm still please with my akebono setup and stopping power is a huge improvement (thanking turbocad personally for the gen1 research/testing).

It is much easier for the 2nd gen since it already has it on some models i believe from my personal experience it is just some simple lines and screws at most $50 out of pocket.

I am not quiet sure exactly what the problem or concern would be but i would consult a brake specialist before going for the fronts only.

Turbo or someone please correct me if im wrong. Not quiet sure on that one just my memory is foggy from whom i was told about this.

[FXthis]

Alright count me in for fronts only, and let's see what glendale can give us as a price and we'll go from there!

I'm interested, let me know when you have a price, thanks!

[turbocad6]

fronts only are ok, but rears are so simple on second gen that it makes sense to do all 4 really, just bolt on. rear calipers are the same as a G or Z, but not the rotors, they have to be fx50 specific rotors in the rear...

[Fire0nic3FX]

Will I need to do a brake fluid drain/refill?

[turbocad6]

only need to bleed the brakes after swap unless you got over 40k miles or so, then complete fluid swap might be something more to consider. if not just swap thre calipers & bleed them.

[StuLax18]

FWIW, I've noticed the Nissan kits are usually more than Infiniti for some reason. Just something to think about since it's from a Nissan dealership.
