problem with floatin rotors and akebono
 

Hello, i tried to install a two piece rotors for the akebonos, but i have a damn problem with them,. the center cap hits the caliper and i can't even bolt 1 bolt of 2... i think it hits by 10mm from the lower section of the caliper.

What do you think? any solution to this? what if i shave 10mm the lower side of caliper? so i can clear the space?

as you can see, i marked with a white line where the center cap would end in the oem rotor, and some pictures more about the issue

What rotors did you buy? Never seen those before. You will need to get with the folks you bought them from.

:iagree:

they are 2 piece full floating rotors, like the z1 but full floating.

disc hits where the black line, and i'm thinking a solution would be to shave where the yellow mark

i'm from europe, buying a disc of X type from overseas will mean +400$ of shipping

I would go back to your old rotors. I would not be grinding on your brake caliper. The rotors you have do not fit properly.

The Z1 rotors fit properly. I have all 4 corners done.

U sure those aren’t R35 rotors?

They look like 2 pc with J-hook slots from Stillen/AP

The rotor disc appears to be the right diameter, but the hat seems to wrong sized or design....almost feels like it’s a R35 hat mating to an 355mm AP rotors....

Yes they are from AP the rotors all the dimenions are Ok, except the center cap that that hits the caliper(the oem disc doesn't go that far as there's no center cap), the factory already checked it with all the mesures and they ended saying it's wrong, and the only way to fit the rotors are machining the caliper or changing the caliper.
They checked it and the hub can't be smaller so there's no fix at it.
So i guess i will need to return the discs.

Yes return it.

Is DBA not available to you without the hefty shipping cost associated with US based brands?

thank you for the replies,

yes dba is available , the conversion EUR to USD is something like 840$. to me it's a bit expensive for a fixed rotors, but i think it's the only option right now for two piece rotors.

It's a shame here in europe the z is a non existent car :icon14: in my country there's only less than 3k Z's sold from 2009-2020

Where is that? I was trying to guess the AND abbreviation. Amsterdam, Netherlands? Andorra?

Lol same here I’ve been trying to guess his location, wrecking my brain here.

i live in Spain, AND is the abbreviation for Andorra a small country next to Spain.
