Need help guys. Went to the dealership today because of heavy vibration under hard braking. Found (as I knew they would) that I have warped rotors up front. So..... Like any mod bug bitten G owner I decided to inquire on Sport brakes for my non sport sedan. They said absolutely not. Will not sell me them let alone install them! I need help. I want to buy the Akebono BBK for my car but cannot find any place that sells them. Operative word is *NEW*

Tunerz Store
Z1 Motorsports
ConceptZ Performance
TheNismoShop
And I can't forget all the vendors on the website that offer the BBK packages. Go check the vendor marketplace, sir.

I bought mine from TunerzStore. They were shipped from a dealer, but i don't have the packing slips anymore. I'll try looking in my inbox if I still have the UPS emails.<br /><br /><br /><br />
<br /><br /><br /><br />
Best part about tunerz store is if you email them they can customize the package. I got mine with stoptech Ss lines, hawk hps pads, and centric blank rotors.<br /><br /><br />
<br /><br /><br />
Edit: My calipers, hardware, and SS lines were sent from Sam Swope Infiniti<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Only issue for you now is to find a place that will install. If you must use one, try the next closest dealer?

Your rotors may be old, and grooved, and rusty around the hat and the edges, with a measurable amount of surface lost, and your pads may be toast... but your rotors are most certainly not warped.

Oh, F^ck.... Thanks. I'm a dipsh!t and a little out of it today. Thanks for the insight. Anybody know how difficult it is to install these? Do they neede or have wheel bearings in them? I don't know jack about our G sedan Brakes.

Wait, the dealership specifically told you the rotors were warped? Didn't that bother you a little bit; maybe give you pause to question their integrity somewhat?

The switchback color is VERY close but is off slightly. Still looks awesome at night though. The LED turn signals are definitley my favorite. The crisp on/off just looks rich. Next LED project will DEFINITELY be LED mirror caps 
I'll need to break out the DSLR and shoot it with some altered shutter settings to really capture the lights but here's what iPhone 5S is capable of LOL. I will probably just get a video of the switch backs and ambers working - seems more appropriate to show it that way anyhow.
