Got the Akebonos up. Unfortunately Z1 shipped me the wrong bolts so I had to go to the hardware store and pick up the correct ones. They never answer emails so I figured it would take a month to get 4 bolts
Also did a test fit on RPF 1 and had some rubbing on the barrel. Everyone said they should fit fine but I had to get out the grinder. Luckily it didn't take much. Have a racing stripe on the inner barrel now...
Curious.... did you use the Akebono clearance templates to check wheel clearance first? I've checked all my wheel sets just in case the right brake set comes along. And by the template, it shows no interference with my RPFs (nor any of my larger 19s, no surprise there.) Hmmmmm.....
No I didn't check the template. Just went by what everyone on here said.
It doesn't rub much at all, its just enough to take the paint off the wheels when you rotate. No scratches or gouges, can't even feel it with a finger nail. I had a couple sharp edges on the calipers, might be abnormal I dunno.
Hung new garage lights, touched up the paint on one rim from rubbing the caliper, got the rest of the brakes installed. Going to test fit the rest of the rims and then tackle the stainless brake lines
Northern low-lands bother, Roxborough. That pic is ~20 miles SW of Denver metro (I reside near the entrance of Waterton Canyon). Moved here 4 years ago from Southwest Conifer, 9300', no O2, hard-core snow and no roadsters up high...I'm makin' up for lost time with the Z.

Right on man!! I'm in Pueblo. South side CO. Lol. Moved here from Houston 7 years ago.
You've been here for years so at least I don't really need to tell you that washing your car is only going to jinx us and bring on more snow. Lmao ;-)
I keep opening the box then closing it cause I feel like I should do the 2 together rather than just install them on stock wheels and tires. Looks and preformance difference wise.
