sport calipers vs. base calipers

SPOHN

I went from base brakes to sport brakes and I feel they are defiantly a couple steps up. But don't expect leaps and bounds either. You will have to buy a complete kit and Z1 hands down has the best pricing on these with several great options. They can also get you in touch with Mike here on the forums who powder coats to get that nice custom look. I hope to have my done next month.

If you have any other questions I'll be glad to help. I can even install them if you'd like.

That is exactly the type of review I was looking for, I have heard nothing but good things about the Akebonos especially in sporting street use. Did you also get the stainless brake lines as well? They apparently make a big difference in improving the somewhat dull pedal feel of the Akebonos.

Yes I also bought the SS lines from Z1, highly recommend any type of SS lines. I mostly feel better pedal feel when I'm on them hard. Plus you can always get better pads at the same time.

Now there cluth line you will defiantly feel better clutch pedal feel all the time

That's great to know, I will hopefully go this route too within the next year if I can snag a good deal on some Akebonos. The clutch fluid line is something I am very interested in, especially once I install Esfourteen's clutch helper spring. Thanks Spohn.

I need to read more up on the clutch helper spring. I've been overlooking this thread for some time.
