Akebono-BBK Question
 

Alright looking to upgrade to the sport model brakes and was trying to figure out a fair price for the caliper and rotors. I have attached a link and it looks like it costs about 1k, does this seem legit or is there something missing other than the pads? Thanks,

Z1 Akebono Sport Brake Upgrade Package

Looks about on par with others minus pads

The sport brakes are a steal at those prices. It's an excelent package for the money. If you intend to track the car I would advise you to purchase a full-on track only pad set, the Stillen duct kit for the front brakes and a super-high-temp brake fluid like Motul 600 or equivilent. That package should stand up to most abuse short of full-on competition use.

Edit - I think these are $400 cheaper than other places because they don't include rotors?

Great thanks for input guys it is much appreciated. :tiphat:

If you're tracking. Don't forget to get Hard Braking Ti pad insulating heat shields for the front.

Looking at the link that the OP had, I didn't see rotors on the list of items? I could be wrong of course.

Most people don't know this but those calipers aren't expensive at all, phil@grubbs quoted me 220 something for the fronts (per caliper) brand new out of factory
