Okay well, I guess its the time to get the RJM AFP Clutch pedal assembly, and I'm wondering where should I look around to have it installed and set up properly. Anybody that already has one and could chime in?

It's not difficult. Any competent mechanic or do-it-yourselfer who can follow instructions should be able to handle it.

Maybe I'm just over thinking it and once I'd get it, it may seem easier than I probably think, but I'll rather have someone install it who has installed it before and can adjust the settings well enough

Can 180 do it? or are they more of a cosmetic shop?

I wouldn't know, they probably can, but I already know of two private people that can do that on their time.

Mike if you're looking for a shop I can put you in contact with a couple buddies of mine that are pretty close. I think I told you about them, the one has the built Greenwood Corvette and the other a SC'd Caddy.

There is a MOMO shifter that I was looking at. Someone did a DIY on the install on g35driver. I'll see if I can find a link

If it comes to a situation where I will need a backup plan on where to get it installed, I will definitely get in touch with you. Thanks Chris!

Well it's not really aftermarket, but the two OEM styles of M45 *****. I have one and it looks upscale with the leather and nice white stitching.

I am looking for a larger brake CALIPER and ROTOR Slotted or drilled doesn't matter just something good and that fits the car. I don't want the big racing brakes, just something better. then stock on my 2010 37 XS anniversary edition. I have been searching over a month... any help is appreciated

I would go akebono

The Akebono sets go for about $1400 w/ everything but brake lines, you can sometimes find used ones for quite a bit less on the site here.
Here's a thread I put together if you want to source the parts yourself.

I think the Anniversary wheels should clear the big brakes, but you'll need a spare that clears them too, so a couple hundred there too.

Apparently I'm fatter and older than I thought. One of my neighbors didn't believe my car was my car. He seemed simply shocked. I'm not sure how to take that.... ?

I added the Akebono BBK to my X. Last weekend swapped out the original set I added and installed DBA 4000 slotted rotors from KNS. No complaints here other than I took the long way around. Grab a set of calipers, get them coated or painted now if you think you're going to want to go that route, then slap them on with a set of rotors and you should be ready to roll.

What pads did you go with, and is it noisy?
