Nissan 370Z Forum  

Looking into a big brake kit..

You can get a set of takeoff akebonos for less than that. Look at the for sale threads here and I'll bet you could get out for $1k.

I bought a set of nearly new red Akebonos on eBay for $1100/
I think they were off of a wrecked Nismo.

They came with pads, hard lines, rubber lines and mounting bolts.

There were plenty of pics, so I could tell the shape that they were in.
I mounted them last weekend as well as Z1 stainless lines and they are perfect.

Alright .. ru saying I'll basically have to see if someone is personally selling? Or is there a specific thread? Sorry, a bit new to this forum/ browsing around
