Like I said in my original post, I had concerns as well. After speaking with others on here I changed my thought process. Akenbonos can be remanufactured and this company is apparently doing it. As long as it's done properly, there shouldn't be any issues. At this point my only concern are the seals, which I will thoroughly check upon install.

If you want to spend 3x more for brand new ones, then go for it. But as of right now, this appears to be an unbeatable option for those of us who would rather spend that money on something else. Such as Z1 two piece sprinkle slotted rotors.

Just my $0.02
