Default Any reviews of 370/G37 Akebono bbk performance?

Any one have any reviews of how the Akebono bbk performs? I know there are lots of people considering this kit in the place of the expensive aftermarket bbks on the market. But I'm not seeing any reviews of it's performance. If you have them and track them or even just use them hard, then please post up your thoughts. I know more people out there is wondering the same thing. Thanks.

They are sexy. They are huge. I want them. They arent as noticable in the G37C and 370's as the brembos are but they can look amazing.

I am in for reviews too.

Too bad there are no race pads out for this kit yet. Is this still a floating caliper design?

I sure did, and if you look in that thread, I posted in there asking for reviews and got none. The OP said NOTHING about tracking the bbk . Thanks for your concern though.

they look like great brakes, but im wondering about their aggressive driving performance. They SHOULD be much better than any of the previous brakes offered since they have larger rotors that should be able to hold more heat before reaching its limit... but id like to see some quantified track tests!

I would love to get some of them since they are so affordable. But I wouldn't get them over other options if they don't at least perform as well.
