Help with Akebono brake upgrade

I just got some infinity akebono brakes which supposedly fit on maxima. Should I get SS lines also? And I think I'm going to get them painted red or black. What you guys think?

Yes get the lines and drill and slot rotor you need to cut the dust guard because the rotor are bigger, need to replace ur spare tire and make sure your wheels clear the caliper

Does anyone know if the akrbono brakes fit behind the stock SR wheels? When you get stainless lines, are they the same as the maxima our do you have to get custom lines to go from the max to the akebono calipers? Thanks for the info on the spare tire, didn't even think of that.

No !! It has to be a 370Z nismo or 370z with the sport packaging or Q60 sport . Here are the right ones and a great deal on ebay.http://m.ebay.com/itm/INF035S-Q60-Q6...%257Ciid%253A8
