Finally made the bbk purchase here through czp vendor. I ordered silver zinc slotted with custom black caliper paint. I hope I made the right choice, it took a long time for me to decide. I'll go down to NYC before the new year to have 180 custom install them alone with few light mods(can't wait ). I was quoted $200 for installation of BBK.

 

I have seen picture of bbk on awd sedans with 18" sports wheels. I don't believe it will cause any problem. However I plan for wheel upgrade when winter is over unless I really can't wait

 

Look forward to pics of your installed BBK, I know 180 will do a nice job for you. Those 18" sport wheels aren't the best looking but at least they're Enkeis and will clear those big Akebonos

 

I have an awd sedan w/ upgraded akebono BBK. You will be fine. I am also running the sport 19's as well Enjoy!

 

Cant wait for you to get the bbk installed. Been flip flopping between new wheels first or bbk on my 09 G37Xs. Thats a pretty good price for the install compare to what I was quoted. Once you have it all done, can you please post pics and experience with 180Custom? I'll follow your lead . New to this mod thing.

 

I'll post pictures as soon as I get them installed. I'll also be getting ironman headlight, smoked taillight from 180custom. I've talked to somebody there, right now I am just waiting for the BBK to come and then schedule a day for NYC.

That's all I need for Christmas this year.

 

are these a straight swap onto the X or is there also a bigger brake fluid reservoir and some other things that need to happen?

 

Yes straight swap. You can even use existing brake line. Only thing is you have to shave some of the rotor dust shield. That's what I've heard.
