g37 Brake question?

Hi I have a g37x coupe and I was wondering could I purchase the g37s brake calipers (front and back) to replace my current ones? I really like the look of the akebono calipers but don't have the $ for a complete bbk kit.

Thanks!

You would need to get the whole kit since the rotors are different sizes.

yes you can but it will not be cheap. also, you will have to get new wheels due to the size of the brakes.

so I can't just blot swap out the calipers?

the wheel concern is fine i'm planning some bigger wheels soon, I was thinking of changing the calipers while the wheels were off.

hmm, so just akebono rotors and calipers then? or do i need to get anything else.
