I want to see some Zs with stock 18s and Akebono brakes. Should be installing mine soon, got the Nismo red calipers.

Been reading a thread where some people are having clearing issues on stock V2 18s. Never heard this problem until this thread.

I've seen this and thought about it but it's difficult finding a donor vehicle these days so, off to CZP or Z1 for full kit.

They are awesome! I still need to flush the system as I just bled when I installed since I was running late that day. I am sure they will be even better with the new fluid!

Still trying to figure out if the Z1 Lines work on the rear OEM calipers. If they do I want to have SS lines all around before I do the flush.

I know I upgraded my lines when I did these akebonos and used motive power bleeder... Piece of cake and fast too!! I also used super duper blue fluid.
