LEGIT or NOT? AKEBONO BBK Z1motorsports

Z11

its for looks and performance. if i wont see a difference, i still want it for looks. ffs i have a $50K car, with brakes and calipers that looks like fkn nissans cheapest car, the leaf or cube or w/e..

and the reason why im hesitating to buy it is because i dont understand why its SO CHEAP for the ENTIRE KIT, when on other sites, its 4K ++++++ for a whole kit, and they usually sell it in front pairs or rear pairs.

and z1 is not responding to any of my emails, that ive sent the last 2 weeks, 1 each week. so ........

TerribleONE

Its because its just the akebono sport package... not an aftermarket 6 pot 4 pot BBK.. However still much better than the base brakes in regards to looks, and track performance

are you guys talking about the stainless steel brake lines, that cost 90$ as an added option? from the z1 akebono site? i might as well ad it. its $90 for 4 ss lines, if im spending over 2K, why cheap out on a few extra dollars.

whats 4 pot 6 pot

Z11

pistons im guessing. if its not 6pot 4pot. how many pots is it?

i still dont know why they dont reply to emails. if this is the customer service im getting before even ordering the product, this will detour me from them.

The Sport Akebonos are 4 pot front 2 pot rear. I believe the base are 1 and 1.

Call them directly. They will answer all of your questions.

Dustin@Z1

Z11,
I apologize for the lack of response. Could you tell me exactly who you were emailing? What email address were you sending your inquiries to?
Please understand, we are in the beginning of the 2012 Z Car show/event season. Some of our staff will be coming/going to various events around the country. We had a large portion of our staff leave out to attend the ZAttack event in Nashville, TN. Regardless, we attempt to answer all emails as quickly and effectively as possible.

I try to keep an eye for any posts related to Z1 and attempt to act quickly to offer aid or respond to questions. To be honest this post slipped by me.

To answer your question about our pricing, we do purchase large volumes with Nissan and other suppliers. This level of volume gives us better pricing in some cases and allows us to have better buying power in others. We developed this kit in house and tested everything on our own personal vehicles.
- Z1 300zx Akebono Kit --> Fitment Tested on our 1200 RWHP Widebody 300zx and Track/Street tested on my personal Non-Turbo Slicktop Track Car
- Z1 350Z/G35 Akebono Kit --> Track/Street Tested on Shanna Floyd (the boss's wife's Momentum Performance Single Turbo G35)
- Z1 370Z Akebono Kit --> 100% Bolt on with a few items we have discovered from working with so many Inifinti G37's and Nissan 370Z's.

The 370Z Akebono Conversion Package is 100% bolt-on. There is no R&D involved, crazy brackets or special hardware sicne it is 100% Nissan parts (for the most part). We do offer aftermarket brake pads and brake rotors as an base option for those wanting something other than OE. We price our products as fairly and competitively as possible (this has been a platform of ours from the beginning). Through our connections and relationships with various vendors, we can offer some products substantially lower than our competitors. I will admit, there are some products that we cannot acquire cheaper than our competitors and in some cases, due to our networks, we cannot get some products at all.

Trust me, there are no gimmicks here. We keep these kits in stock and can ship everything out the same day in most cases. If you would like, please email me directly at Dustin@Z1Motorsports.com. I will be more than happy to work with you and answer any questions you may have!

You're on the right track...
The other BIG factor is that aftermarket kits..like STOPTECH..have
TWO PIECE FLOATING ROTORS which are lighter and run cooler. Those alone are at least $800 a pair right there!
