Literally the only good reason to "upgrade" from the Sport BBK

With that being said, go with the Akebonos.

2 - Call out forum bros who want to dispose of their low mileage sport calipers and rotors and you just get upgraded pads and braided lines.
OP, you want better looking CALIPERS or just cooler discs

Z1 370Z / G37 Brake Upgrade Package (Non-Sport Models)
The upgrade kit you posted is what axmea? is talking about in number 1

But since you said you want larger, what you want to do is hit up CZP or Z1 for their BBK, it's the cheapest and pound for pound the best
