^awesome news.

i think too many people have these brakes just for looks scott which is the problem right now.

any recommendations for good street/track pads to go with them? dedicated track pads?

I ran a few pad choices by Scott and used the info off of this forum. For street I'll be using Hawk HPS pads and for track days I'll be using Carbotech XP10 pads on the front and XP8 pads on the rear. Scott said it is a good choice.

Received my BC ER coilovers with Swift precision spings from BC Racing as ordered by Scott at Relentless Automotive today. The packing was excellent and they sure do look "purdy". Started reading the installation instruction manual and realized I need the help of an interepter. Can any of you tell me what "At this time you just need to use adjuster of easier use power. That will be fine." might mean? Seriously, the BC's are well made, but the proof is in the use. By the way, I went with 12k front and 10K rear on the springs, which should be a nice compromise for street and track.

Scott @ RA

Woady, I would have to agree with you on the fact that it seems that for the most part people did/ are buying the Akebono brake kits more for the looks, rather than the performance.

However, with the addition of these light weight two piece rotors (along with upgraded pads, lines, and fluid), we can and have turned these well proportioned Akebono brake calipers into a legit and track worthy big brake kit.

As for my recommendation on brake pads for street and track... I honestly have not tried a lot of different pads (extensively) as of yet.

The stock OEM pads are a very light duty pad and although they serve their purpose.... I would recommend a better/ harder street pad for use with our harder, heat treated rotors.
At this time, I can only vouch for the Hawk line of pads we have used thus far, on this brake kit. Although there is plenty of quality pad companies and choices that should be just fine.

So I can recommend the Hawk HPP for light to moderate track use and the Hawk HPS for daily driving. These have worked well so far.

What I am looking forward to..... In the near future (with the help of the automotive leader in custom brake pads) we hope to experiment more with a wider variety of custom compounds, friction materiel's, and heat ranges of pads and will actually be branding our own pads for a variety of different uses.

Scott @ RA

Glad you received your custom Relentless Autosports valved and spec'd BC Racing ER series coilovers that were custom valved to match the supplied Swift springs.

My set of front and rear RA rotors should ship on Monday. So by sometime in the next couple of weeks I should know about fitment. I'll be installing the BC ER coilovers I got from Scott at the same time and upgrading my brake lines to Goodridge SS.

Scott @ RA

^^ Yeah, unfortunately the customers (so far) who have the sets of our two piece akebono rotors are not on this forum to comment .

We have installed these RA two piece rotors on two cars here locally, not including one of my personally cars (for testing), so that makes three.
We also have shipped out two more rotor kits out to Europe. One customer from Germany/ Austria area who has had these on probably the longest and with the most track events raves about them and has nothing but great input for us every time we get an e-mail update from him.

There is also a show car G35 that will be installing his set fairly soon as well as two (soon to be three) additional members of this forum that should be receiving their rotor kits fairly soon that I am assuming will commet about them.

Let me know if you have any questions.....

I am gonna watch this heavily since my stock rotars are getting chewed up by my pads. I am just tight on the funds this month with my SC and Suspension being done.

Does anybody have any driving input on the two piece rear rotors yet??

gpa7pk

If you mean track time, no. My next track days are Nov. 12-13.

KillBill

OK...hope to hear how it goes

Q8y_drifter
