Akebono Brake question for Q40??

Since I can't get the sport package anymore on the G37...I'll probably lease a Q40 at the end of the year...that being said...if I want to get the larger Akebono brake calipers (maybe in red)....what do I need to buy in order for these to work? Just calipers and pads? or do I need different brake lines or rotors? Who would be the best vendor to buy these from?

Thanks
Michael

You can buy a complete kit from Z1 motorsports or check this thread (after the red update) if you want to source your own parts, you can get a BBK complete for about $1100 that way

Keep in mind you'll need a new spare & new wheels that will clear the big calipers.

I got mine from Z1, and was installed last week. Brads info was very helpful to me also! You'll need banjo bolts at least.

Why on earth would you spend $1200-1800 on brakes for a lease :/. UG
