CZP Akebono and the dreaded squeal
No not really but since millimeters in my case count.. It was something to consider. My problem is the clearance from the caliper to the inner barrel of the rim is soooo close, its something I feel I need to mention in the event someone has a similar problem.
My issue was not that at all.... The inside of the front right rotor was rubbing on one of the mounting bolts from the kit... it was almost as if the inside where the rotor was sprayed either had extra material or the rotor mounting face wasn't true. So I shaved the bolt down a couple mm. No more metal on metal sound... I have 19x9.5 +26 in the front rh evolution s3 pro wheels and it doesn't touch the wheel what so ever... again the problem I had was nothing to do with the caliper just a tiny spot on the rotor would rub in one area and cause the squeal. Everything is fine after the trim of that portion of the bolt and I still have plenty of bolt to tighten/ loosen it safely without damage to the bolt.
( no my hub isn't jacked up, or damaged. they have been inspected and no issues there)

The Akebono Calipers are authentic Akebono Calipers, they come straight from Nissan and are also in Nissan OEM boxes with part numbers. The only part that we make for the Akebono Kits are the brackets to fit them, and those are made in the USA. This is a rare issue, and it could be that you didn't trim the dust shields enough, please make sure you contact me tomorrow so we can go over your setup.
Thanx Guys

I would recommend if you guys want the Akenbono kit... piece it together. You can find those adapters way cheaper and save on the CZP crazy mark-up!
