Newb, BBK Question

First off, Greetings everyone. I've been lurking for some time and finally registered.

I have a question that I haven't been able to find the answer to. Will BBK for pre-09 FX35 (or anything else) fit an 09? They are cheaper. Also what kit would you recommend?

The reason I ask is because I was searching for just 09+ until I found this, stillen.com/product/brake-kits/ap-racing-6-piston-front-drilledslotted-big-brake-kit-red-calipers-ap5500r-20799.html kit for what seems like a great price. And in the specs it says it will fit 03-11.

Thanks!
 
Welcome to iS. I do have the Akebono BBK for sale that will fit your ride, much cheaper than AP Racing. Let me know if you are interested.

I saw that, thought they sold?

Are those same size rotors as stock? Are they direct bolt on?

Which brings me to another question, can I replace my calipers with FX50 calipers, keeping the rotors and bracket? If so will they clear the stock 18s?
 
FX50 has larger rotors, so you need to replace them. I have everything included in that kit, straight bolt on for 2nd generation FX's. Should clear the stock 18's. Let me know
 
Man, how tempting. I'd be all over it if I hadn't just spend 400$ on front rotors a month ago. Tempting nonetheless.

Will G35 BBK or 1st Gen BBK fit 2nd Gen?
 
^ Front 1st generation BBK might fit, I'm not 100% sure though. Rear won't fit.

You will need new rotors with any BBK anyway.

I'm not too worried about the rears. Yeah I know, I will probably wait until I have to change them. Or keep them for the winter if the wheels don't fit.
