Thanks and that is possibly true, although all's it takes is any research at all and anyone could easily see the price range of a two piece rotors of this similar size and quality. I have seen far inferior rotors go for more money than these ones.

You have a highly specialized product, which very few of us on here can take advantage of. I will get a set as soon as I can afford them, but I am afraid you have overestimated your target customer base.
Thanks, I appreciate the input and the compliment..... but probably a majority of my frustration comes from all the hoards of G35 and 350Z people who have converted their brakes to these Akebono (G37s, 370Zs) brake kits.... For almost two years (and several hundred posts/ threads) there has been this big ordeal made on many forums about the cons of the extremely heavy OEM rotors and how a lot of people siad they need a light weight solution.... Well... I guess nobody wants/ needs the solution that bad..... LOL Jeeezz




Anyways... ^^ Thanks for the nice responses guys, I do appreciate the input.......

Maybe for now we will just convert this group buy into an introductory offer (with a little modification) instead.... Maybe in a while when/if there is enough interest I will start another group buy on these......
