Does anyone know where I can find the original installation post? Maybe it's Chrome or maybe it's the site, but all associated .PDFs, images, etc. concerning the "how-to" seem to be dead links.
And I mean anywhere. InfinitiScene, InfinitiFX.org, anywhere I can find a step-by-step Akebono BBK upgrade to a first-gen FX.
I sincerely appreciate it.

Sweet! I've been contemplating doing this for YEARS!!! But was worried about the 18's fitting... Already have STOPTECH SS lines, so everything else will be bolt-on. I'll probably get 20mm spacers and bolts and run them year round then... Nicer stance anyways... And still have Turbo's rear knuckle adaptors somewhere... This WILL become a reality sometime in the near future LOL!!!

LOL! Yeah I'm still alive! Not so much in mods as $$$ is on the low side now... But I already have the knuckle adaptor for the rears, and I've been wanting to do the fronts for a LONG time... Just couldn't find any info on if the OEM 18's would fit so I held off as I need them for my winters... Was thinking of waiting to use my 20's as winters and upgrade to 22's for summer and then do the brakes, but now I don't have to wait! And 22's aren't realistic for Ottawa's potholes...

You forget... "I'm a loser baby!"Real Gs have 21s
Reviving this thread from the dead... What do you guys think of these H&R spacers? Any other suggestions? Looking to get this project Front & Back done at the end of summer... Might do fronts early as I'll buy the kit and it's an easy bolt-on... Rears I need to check on a little more :P

NO - you'll need a 15mm spacer.

Q50 rear rotors also work FYI. I know because I used them. The ID of the rear rotor for the brake show is 7.5”.
The front is the exact same size as the g37s and sport 370z, basically akebono is what the q50 has.
shoot, thought I took a pic of the rear but anyhow just FYI.
