Looks fine to me. Make an offer.

Not sure what I think about the Megan Racing plate in the middle, with those two little Phillips head bolts.

Have your own custom plate made, with "iCrap" boldly etched into the design.

Or not.

If you still have the sound deadening material under your hood, I bet you it will eventually wear against any plaque on the FSTB.

If it's only those two screws holding it down, maybe you could just flip the plate over and put a 4DSC sticker on the plate

It's a metal stick

I wish someone made a 3 point brace for the sedan. G could take a lot more spring rate if the chassis were a little stiffer.

Right? I’ve spent an unhealthy amount of time looking at the brace the Nismo Zs have.

I have front and rears from my G37 sedan that have been just laying around in my basement for past 8 months. Send me a PM if interested.

I believe I already know the answer to my question, but I'm looking for a confirmation. I'm looking into getting some lighter rotors for my X sedan. Right now I have the stock baby brakes on her, but was considering doing the bbk upgrade later on. My question is will I need to get bigger rotors if I upgrade to the bbk? I'm more concerned with losing unsprung weight rather than the additional stopping power as I don't track my car. I just don't want to purchase new rotors now for my small brakes, then have to turn around and purchase another set if I do upgrade to a bbk. Any insight is appreciated.

Also has anyone ran centric, power stop, or R1 concepts rotors before? I'm leaning towards Z1, but if I can find some for half the price and just as good than I'll probably go with them instead.

Im running centric blanks right now. They're definitely not lightweight rotors, but its still StopTech quality. (Centric owns StopTech)

And yes, the Akebono rotors are 355mm front and 350mm rear. Quite a bit larger than the baby rotors in the X. If you're looking for weight savings, 2 piece is definitely the way to go.
