Default Questions for anyone that upgraded base brakes to Akebonos

Hi all. Looking at upgrading my base to Akebonos (Z1 package or comparable)

I was curious if anyone who has done this could offer some advice.

1. I will be getting new Z1 SS lines, and Sport dust shields, are there any other random pieces I will still need not included in the kit?

2. I need to confirm whether the stock base caliper brackets will accommodate the larger Akebono caliper or if I need to order new ones.

3. Has anyone had to run spacers as a result of upgrading the brakes?

(I ended up getting S-Tune Nismo wheels that I planned to use as my track set. These should be friendly enough for the Akebono's but I was a little concerned with clearance up front.)

Thanks in advance for your input!
