I am thinking about doing the same for mine and do my wheels + tires at the same time. I heard you have to modify the dust shield for them to fit properly, is that something you have to do?

You MAY have to, it's hit and miss

I'm just gonna get the sport pkg dust shield

I'm looking to upgrade my standard brakes to these also. Is there a general price that I should be looking for? I have the cv3's and the brakes will bring out the wheel better...

I trimmed my rear dust shields with cut-off wheels and then painted the cut edge so it didn't rust. I would suggest calling Z1 Motorsports or checking out their website for best pricing. Here are mine installed on my touring.

Akebono hardline issues 2013?
 
I have the Z1 Akebono kit for my 2013 370Z. Had my local performance shop try and install it but the front hardlines Z1 sent did not fit the mounting bracket on my knuckle. I believe they changed something for 2013. I did order the Z1 kit with the build date 06/2012 or later. My car was build 11/12. Anyone experience this issue when trying to upgrade a 2013? I now have SS lines and short banjo bolts to install the kit. Any feed back would be great.

Looking good, I have the same. Waiting for the rears to become avialible !
