Sport caliper on awd model?

They do fit on directly, but the problem is you need the whole kit meaning all new rotors too and the other stuff that comes with it. I'm going to buy this kit soon for my G35xS soon too. The only problem is that they won't fit under the 17" wheels, and they will fit the sport wheels with spacers in the front

I haven't been able to test fit my 20" wheels over the sport calipers but I think +38 should be fine depending on what vossen wheels you get. Like if you get the VVS-CV1 they should fit and if yo go with something like the VVS-082 then you might or might not need spacers. The only modification that you might need to do is either shave the dust shields or get ones specific to the sport brakes.

The ONLY thing I miss from the G35 is the burnt orange calipers that came on the MT cars. I wish Infiniti stuck with those for the G37....it looked great!

it's pretty simple bolt on. just upgrade the fluid while you're doing it as well.

most vossens shouldn't have issues to clear

Not bad, but still nowhere near the beautiful fixed calipers (floating calipers never look as good!) in that unique color. I think the color is what I liked the best...not the typical bright red, yellow, or blue that you usually see on calipers.

I love the looks of the calipers on my 6MT coupe, but I just wish they weren't painted silver because they blend in too much. Maybe some day I'll paint them to match the old G35 calipers.
