Big Brakes!

Red__Zed · 04-18-2011, 12:51 PM

Hm, so just to be clear on what's included is:

Fully rebuilt calipers with new parts
Hawk HPS Pads
SS Brake Lines, front and rear
Front Brembo Calipers
Rear Akenbonos

But you need rear akebono's in exchange? And no rotors, correct?

Mike · 04-18-2011, 01:47 PM

all is correct, except that I am only including front pads, not rears.

Lou, if the akebonos can be fit on a 300zx, which they can, then these should work too. I would talk to Z1 and see if they needed to modify the akebonos to make them work.

buying Chaz's trophys?

Mike · 04-18-2011, 02:49 PM

there are used ones for sale? Link?

I need to get the 14" kit though, not the 15"

never mind, found them. His are too big for my track wheels

Mike · 04-18-2011, 07:08 PM

actually, for an extra $50 (shipping cost), I'll throw in the rotors too. They have tiny stress cracks in them from heat, but nothing that makes them unusable, even on the track. Fronts have 700 track miles on them, rears are a little older.

Dang Mike. I wish this would of happen three weeks ago.

Jamaica2G · 04-18-2011, 11:06 PM

Im glad these would take something wierd to fit G35s... like the spacer people made lol

GLWS.

actually, the rotors will not be available for an extra 50, as my new bbk is 4-6 weeks out, so I will need them for a bit. Calipers are available though, I have an extra set of akebonos I'll put back on when these sell.

If you can buy the 14" rotors from Stoptech, I'd be willing to sell the calipers and lines only if you're interested

What wheels are you running for track?

Mike · 04-24-2011, 11:06 AM

They would need new brackets too. I just ordered the complete set from Forged.

I'm running 18" Forgestar F14s and widened 350Z Track rays.
