Ill bank that you will love these brakes. Fastbrakes maybe new to you guys on here but they are popular on many many forums. They have over 30 years of brakes knowledge and most of all, their kits are cheaper than everyone else. Not cause of quality or anything like that, they just have a lower overhead and can supply parts that are more cost effective.

Any pics of the actual calipers?

I think the brakes on the G37 are fine, the most I would do is replace the lines/pads/rotors, I dont see a need to replace the calipers.

Also for something like brakes I would go with a company that has proven R&D, and has tested the brakes. I have never heard of that company before so I wont trash them, but at the same time brakes are not something I would be cheap with.

I will get actual caliper pics for everyone. In actuality one of the Road and Track issues had did a testing on brakes and the G car was amongst the bottom in braking performance. The factory does more than what its suppose to do but adding more braking power is def a plus, especially those that are plus sizing w heavier chrome wheels. As mentioned, they just market their brakes cheaper than everyone else. Once Terrrible gets his brakes, he can do a review for everyone. I have them on my drag car and I def wouldnt skimp on brakes w my life on the line everytime I race it.

Wouldn't this be an issue with the brake pads that are used? Shouldn't replacing the brake pads with something else fix this?

GT-R's a bench racers car for now, it will hardly compare to the die hard drag race lovers who will buy the ZR1. It won't be on the streets, it will be at the track like the ZO6 (priced the same as the GT-R) with owners who aren't scared to chip their front bumpers
