Message	So I went ahead and decided to use not use the Akebono G37 rear brakes. Decided to use the stock fronts as my rear brakes. Started from this Needed some work And now 14" rear rotors I am fully aware these are not true Brembos (like another member told me, they aren't true Nissans either) and its personal preference. I wanted them to match my front SRT-8 Brembos Uploaded with ImageShack.us
