370Z Brakes?

I am pretty sure they went with Akebono to cut costs. And why does it matter what they look like if they stop great?

I am in no way interested in what they look like, although nice brakes are sexy. I am interested on how they will manage a full trackday and those look very mainstream/mediocre.

They look "OEMish" Although those 4 pistons look huge....

I already said that I really hope I'm completely wrong and they don't fade and that I'm not just going to replace them. Going to try and make them better first.

When you CUT cost at the OEM level, you cut performance. Just make brembo an option.
