Thx for the info turbocad, interested in doing this so may be ordering the adapter kit from you. By any chance, do you know how much the rear knuckels/spindles will run...just looking for a ballpark figure? appreciate your help bro...

don't know if this link will direct correctly but http://www.infinitipartsusa.com/par...FX50&year=2009&catalogid=2&displayCatalogid=0
they have them listed as $276.44 each, which is why this rear retrofit is somewhat less popular with the first gen guys

But is really cool if you want a brembo front and brembo rear -- as the brembo rear is now available for the 2nd gen FX=)
Would have saved you and rookie a lot of time!

Thx again turbo...sorry for all the questions...but you are the one with the answers!!
So with the adpater kit...will I still need the longer stud bolts if I'm already running
spacers? I have 25mm h&rs already on there.
I would jst need the knuckles and the balljoint adapters correct? It looks like we can use the stock rotors which is good as I have a new set of R1 concepts...
the bolts in my kit are not wheel studs, they are the 4 bolts each side for the rear hub. the fx50 knuckle is aluminum where the old was steel. because it's aluminum the flange is thicker, requiring the longer bolts.
you can not use the original rear rotors either, there too small, you must use fx50 rear rotors

Thx turbo...yeah just realized that when I read the DIY write up that was posted here. It might be a bit too technical for me...I'm going to try to get an estimate on getting this installed. Wish I was near you in NY area...where I'm originally from lol. Otherwise may jst stick with the fronts....but it jst seems wrong
to not match the rears you know? But it looks like this mod could get really pricey....will weigh my options. Appreciate all the info....
A "front only kit" is different than using the front half of a bbk or just upsizing the fronts somewhat randomly, as is the case with using FX50S front brakes with FX35 rears. A front only kit is (as you said) designed to work with the existing rears, whereas the FX50S fronts are designed to work with the FX50S rears. Obviously though if it works in this case than this is a moot point. I was just explaining the words of caution fxp had heard about blindly increasing the rotor size and how it can have undesireable results.

Any updates on pricing, ect...?
I would like to also know if this is still going on ? If not this isn't a bad deal.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OEM-INFINITI-FX50-AKEBONO-FRONT-REAR-CALIPER-SET-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQfitsZModelQ3aFX50QQhashZitem27bcc67107QQitemZ170670846215QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_1789wt_939, maybe someone can talk to circle infiniti and see if we can do a group buy with them. It says they have 5 sets of these in stock. If we got them for $600 per set on 6 sets that would be sweet.
Turbo: will the fx50 akebono calipers bolt right up on the 09 fx35 or do they need different brackets ? Just wasn't sure if the holes would line up.

I emailed him and this is their response:
Dear jmess61386,
Sure we can work something out. I think the best way to do this is for every additional kit you add the price goes down $10 (up to 6). So the lowest it can go is $820 for a group of 6 or more. Each kit is subject to $40 shipping within the US. Let me know if that works.
