That's too bad, the RC6E's are a great track compound, although probably not good if you street drive much.

When I use RC6 on the rear axle I find that braking suffers a little as it is too eager to lock up the rear. I would recommend the RC5+ on the rear for most drivers.

I thought the car performed quite well at the last event. Having said that I only ran two sessions before the rear diff boiled over and ended my day. I did notice the car feel like it locked up, no ABS engaged. at the end of the straight. I can not say for sure if it was diff or brake issues because I was not getting proper lock up from the OS Diff at those temps.
I will report back after the next outing. I will say the Akebono brakes like to bite at minimal pedal pressure. This can be annoying with the CL Pads if you are not ready for it, as it really stops the car...lol John

RC5+'s sounds about the way I want to go to start. Maybe go up to 6's later on, as my Niz will mostly be for fun street driving twisties. Can I get a price for the akebono front and rears?
