Whats the story with my brakes?

Got a '10 G37xS and looking to at least get pads if not rotors too. Everywhere I search for brakes either gives me the option for sport or awd, not both. So my question is what should I really be looking for, one or the other or the unicorn that lists both?


Ultimate goal would be to get the '11+ S calipers, so much more pretty than mine.

For you, AWD brakes are the same as non sport. Sport brakes on a RWD are the akebono BBK style. Hope this helps.

The COUPE G37xs comes with the big brake kit, I believe. It's only the AWD sedan that gets hosed.

This^^^
If you have a coupe XS you got the nice big boys, if you've got the Sedan XS then you are one of the unlucky ugly base floating caliper fellows

calipers, rotors, pads, brake hoses (or get the conversion banjo bolts to use your existing hoses)

can come off of xS coupe, S coupe or S sedan

fairly documented around here, someone correct me if I'm missing something
